This was cataloged as a heavy waterfowl gun. In my opinion 1 1/8 oz isn't a heavy load. With the XFull chokes is it possible that it was made as a pigeon gun? Serial looks up to 1909. 12 GA, 2 3/4". S# O9162. Bbl. 30" of fluid steel with 1 1/8 oz. nitro proofs. Steel front and mid bead. Case colored scalloped boxlock action. Double under lug and crossbolt locking with dolls head extension. Sides have gold inlaid markings "WESTLEY RICHARDS & Co.". Single selective trigger. Selective ejectors. Automatic safety. Splinter forearm and straight grip stock of fine English walnut with oval escutcheon on toe line. Point pattern hand checkering. LOP: 14 3/8" over an aftermarket Decelerator pad. DAC: 1 3/4". DAH: 2 3/4". Stock has a slight cast off. Bore Diameter: RT: .739, LT: .742. Choke Constriction: RT: .043 (Extra Full), LT: .045 (Extra Full). Minimum Wall Thickness: RT: .035, LT: .022.
