This is the solution and it is only $900.00. It has the added benefit if you lose a boat paddle over the side you can use this gun! ...or if you lose your anchor just tie a rope to the trigger guard and........

Does anyone remember the old "Black Velvet" whiskey ads? The one with the stunning woman in the black dress? Seeing this gun in the rack brings forth the same response from seeing that ad… …Let me hold you!

I just looked it up in the Dickson book by Dallas and it says it was competed August 13th 1893. The new barrels appear to be by the maker.

Weighing less than some English 2" guns this gun balances extremely well with a very lively feeling between the hands. The case color is near 90%, the wood finish 90%, the barrel black 80%.

This gun has its original case and hang tag which interestingly enough mentions that the gun was tested with American ammunition. Sold to an American? The original case shows considerable wear but the gun also comes with a Huey style oak & leather case with French fitted tools making an extremely attractive package and a seriously sound investment.

The condition is high on this fine shotgun. Over 90% original blue, case hardening and wood finish. It has obviously not seen a lot of use. Even being so light and with such a long length of pull this little part of Scotland balances beautifully.

This eagle grade features exceptional chiseled fences and top notch engraving and of course the American eagle in gold on the bottom of the action. This is an extremely handsome shotgun of quality. The barrels have been recently blacked. There is some loss to the lettering on the barrels but still quite legible. The professional replacement butt stock is sound and in very nice condition.

* I do have a pair case that would look good with these guns but would be an extra $500.00

Built in 1910 this makes it a true Edwardian English double!

Note the great stock dimensions and barrel condition. Own a Westley Richards.

While on the heavier side I will tell you I was very surprised to see the weight on the scale. It is so well balanced I had guessed it would weigh 6 lbs. 10 oz. .

The case is somewhat tatty on the outside but does appear to be original to the gun which is great. The Horn extension could easily be removed and replaced with a pad and we can arrange for this if you would like.

This gun dates from 1959.

The long length of pull should be an eye catcher for you big guys or we can shorten and even remove the whole stock extension and install a pad.

If some one could use a 14 3/8" LOP we could remove the current pads and put a nice new "Old English" or leather covered pad on the gun which would look very nice.

Of the early Westley guns I like this model as it has the elegance of the early guns but features the Purdey double under bite. Guns before this often only had one or no bites on the under lug which was not near as strong as the design on this gun.

As far as I know Manufrance Ideals were never retailed here in the USA but thankfully a few have been brought back by soldiers and sportsman over the years.

*Note that these Ideal guns have besides the classic Purdey patent double under bite a rising third bite similar to the classic and coveted Rigby patent.

This will make someone in the very near future a very happy upland bird camper!

We can open up the right barrel to IC or less for only $75.00 to make a great combination.

.016 left and .003 right is my favorite combo!

I was present on a wild bird hunt in eastern Oregon where I saw this gun take a limit of pheasant and Hungarian partridge on the same day. A sight to behold!
