Fine Engraved Westley Richards 1882 Deeley-Edge Patent Underlever Single Shot Rifle

Manufactured by Westley Richards & Co. c. 1882. The blued barrel is marked "EXPRESS/FOR No 3. CASE" at the breech, the whole of the top flat matted with checkering, and is fitted with a sling swivel eye, a beaded blade front sight dovetailed in an elevated block, and a elevated four-leaf rear sight graduated from 50-300 yards, each leaf having a platinum inlaid center line. The bright action is marked "MANUFACTURED BY/WESTLEY RICHARDS & Co./LONDON & BIRMINGHAM" on the left and "DEELEY-EDGE/PATENT" on the right, with both surrounded by beautifully executed flourishes of English style floral scroll engraving which continues onto the lever and trigger guard. It is mounted with a nicely figured and checkered forearm with horn forend cap and a pistol grip stock with sling swivel eye and heel and toe caps on the otherwise bare checkered butt. Provenance: Firearms for Freedom Collection

ConditionFine, retains 50% plus of the faded blue finish with the remainder mostly polished bright or a smooth grey patina, some scattered light spotting on the barrel, and a few patches of light surface pitting. The reoiled wood is very good with some scattered minor handling marks and a few minor blemishes in the overall crisp recut checkering. Mechanically excellent.
