Note the weight! And now have pictures of the gun in the vintage Dickson correct vintage case.

These trigger plate actions remove a large amount of wood from between the action so to strengthen it this gun has had a pin put cross wise across the head of the stock to prevent cracking. It was professionally and elegantly done with horn covers. The butt has a 1" horn extension.

A super price for a sound and beautiful round action.

*Note the great stock dimensions and chokes perfect for most bird hunting.

If you are unfamiliar with the Westley droplock it is the flag ship of the Westley history and line of guns. It is the most simple and well designed double with hand detachable locks. One only has to push a button and then pull the locks out. Nothing to unscrew like on the Holland royal guns.

“A Westley Richards firearm is a piece of art...a masterpiece of the gunmaker's craft.”Robin Hurt, Professional hunter, 2015

*Note the great drop dimensions , comb and heel and cast. Perfect for most of us.

The full choke in the left with cylinder in the right is a common English choking and was effective in driven shooting. If one opens the left barrel to a light modified and leave the right barrel as is this gun would be a fabulous upland bird shotgun. We can arrange for this and the cost is only $70.

The extra full chokes would make this great for turkey hunting or allows one for only $70.00 per barrel open the chokes to any desired amount.

Jason and I were in basin shooting feedlot pigeons last Saturday. At 5:30 in the morning I had to pick what guns to take ( I always take two, one should always have a back up). I without hesitation took my old standby and then thought "What have I seen in the shop I would like to shoot?"

I had the choice of some Boss guns, and a couple of Purdey's and Hollands but my mind came back to this old Dougal sidelever I had recently come through the door. She was my choice. Sometimes the most expensive gun in the shop is not my choice and neither should it need to be yours.

The full and full chokes would allow our gunsmith to make this gun to any choke selection for just $75.00 a tube.

Note the great stock dimensions!

The original proof marks are 3" for a 1 1/2" load and it was recently reproofed for 2 3/4" which I know makes no sense. Consulting with proof experts, we believe that the gun is out of the original proof in the right barrel by only one thousandths so it was resubmitted for new proof and the proof house screwed up and marked it for 2 3/4" instead of 3" accidentally. Proof house employees are government employees who are human just like the rest of us and make mistakes. The thing too remember is this is a very strong gun!

I detect and old stock repair in the wrist that has been expertly done and reinforced with an extended top tang. It was so well done it was only because of the extended tang that I was able to figure it out as it is virtually impossible to see without magnification and in just the right light.

There is some light pitting in the bores which could be removed but if it were me I would take this light lady afield just as she is and enjoy her doing what she does best.

This example is tight on face and field ready. A recoil pad can easily be added for a 14 1/8" LOP or wouldn't it be perfect as is for a first double for a younger son or daughter or grandchild.

The gun is tight on face and sound in every other way. Please don't call and ask me to ship this gun out hoping the barrels are better than what I have described. I have described them accurately. Free shipping during this Corona virus crisis.

What a rare opportunity this is and in the spirit of its origin would make such a wonderful gift to another collector or to pass down to a sporting son or daughter establishing a family legacy.
