value on a .425 Westley needed
23/05/12 09:05 PM

Let me start by saying that I know nothing about post WWII sporterized Mausers, hence the questions. I have found two .425 Westley's. Right now I can only get photos of this rifle, which I think is a good buy, and need opinions from those that know. Looking on the internet I see that in 2010 it failed to sale in 3 of Gavin's auctions. Is this a big clue? Is it worth $2000?

1. How much does the scope being drilled into the action hurt it?
2. Does being a sporterized service rifle make it that much less valuable than a commercial rifle?
3. Does the Nazi proofmark along with the Westley marks make a difference?
4. Are those the original service sights?

.425” Mauser action big game rifle by Westley Richards retailed by Newland Tarlton & Co Ltd of Nairobi. WW2 Nazi marked K98 action fitted with an early Leopold QD scope rail and struck with Birmingham proof marks. Sporting pattern safety for use with a scope. Walnut pistol grip stock with chequered fore end and grip fitted with a rubber recoil pad and detachable floor plate magazine. Barrel with Westley Richards triangle trade mark stamped to the top of the knox form is engraved to the left side NEWLAND TARLTON NAIROBI B.E. AFRICA, over .425” Birmingham proof marks. The barrel fitted with a standing express rear sight and blade front. The action fitted with a very good quality period Nickel Marburg 2 ½ X 22 telescopic sight with a post and cross hair big game reticule.
