    So some details

    P Webley and Son
    78 Shaftesbury Avenue London
    1893
    500 3" BPE
    28" Octagonal barrel conventional rifling 1:40" twist 9/10 condition
    Top lever with twin Anson and Deeley under lugs locking
    Back action rebounding side hammer
    Pistol grip stock
    Rigby fore end latch and buffalo horn grip cap
    Sling eyes
    Express sights marked 150 and 250 yards
    Matted top octagonal flat
    London proof marks

    Mechanically perfect condition
    Cosmetically good wood but two pieces split off the top rear of the fore end where it is very thin and unsupported

    The metal work was heavily covered in light to heavy rust spots but no heavy pitting.
    Something has been spilled on the pistol grip Checkering and dropped off the steel grip cap and this is mostly removed except for the bottom of some of the fine Checkering
    Moa Hunter, Lucky, -BW- and 3 others like this.
