GALLERY
Westley Richards 12g Sidelock Ejector made in the early 1900’s. Square bar, back action sidelock with a hidden third fastener, intercepting sears and gold ribbed tumbler pivots, disk-set strikers, two triggers, and an automatic safety. Scroll engraving pattern that was standard on this model covers about 2/3 of the action body and lock plates and the maker’s name is engraved along the bottom edge of the lock plate and a gold inlaid triangle on the top lever. The “Golden Tringle” was a Westley Richards trademark for barrels and actions made in house.
CONSTRUCTION
Original 28″ saddle lump barrels with a raised, smooth, concave game rib. Barrels both measure .0735″ with .010″ choke in the right barrel and .045″ choke in the left barrel.
Appears to be the original stock with traditional drop points and flat top checkering on a straight-hand stock with a 15 1/4″ LOP over a traditional rubber pad that was added at a later date. The stock shield remains blank.
Action has been brushed and remains a dull silver but the engraving remains quite nice. The stock has a repair on the bottom edge of the stock’s head. Barrels and stock show evidence of old refinish. Overall gun is very nice and very serviceable.
