This excellent example was manufactured circa 1930. Westley Richards was founded in 1812 and is one of the oldest surviving English gunmakers using traditional methods. The barrels have a single steel bead sight on the solid concave rib, are choked .012 (skeet II)/.042 (extra full) and have 2 3/4 inch chambers with an extractor. The receiver is engraved "WESTLEY RICHARDS & CO." on both sides with some small flourishes of engraving on or around the screw heads. Mounted on a nicely figured multi-point checkered walnut forearm and adjustable straight grip try stock. This type of stock was used to find the correct measurements of a stock to fit an individual buying a gun. They would then make a standard stock using those dimensions. Most adjustments require a square key (not included) while others use a thumbwheel to make adjustments. The wrist is adjustable for angle and length, the comb is adjustable for height at the front and the butt is adjustable for length. With a leather covered hardcase.

Excellent, the barrels retain 99% original blue finish with only minor marks and wear. The trigger guard and adjustment hardware retain 60% of the original blue finish. The casehardened components retain 95% of the vivid case colors. The wood is excellent with only some scattered minor scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good.
