What a the min wall thickness is it original chamber length what's the barrel wall thickness at the end of the chamber and in front of the chamber .this gun seems a light gun mabey the barrels have been honed did you confirm the chamber lenth? It might be invisible sleeved? I would think a buyer should beware until theses and many more questions are answered.

I am satisfied that you saw that the top lever is way over to the left calling into question the condition of the under locking bolt/rear barrel lump slot and whether the barrels are on face considering that the barrel flats look like they are completely down "banging against the action flats"

Here is a refresher Ed...

https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=632008&page=1

That Tolley 20 bore went to a happy buyer in Alabama.

The Blanch 20 bore went to a high end dealer in Michigan.

Does someone think that they should send Holt's auction and tell them that they need to raise the estimate of this (see below) Wesley Richards .410 boxlock by £3,000 from the £1,000 to £1,500 because they are way too low.

Having said that, .410 doubles go pretty well at Holts these days.

With 28” barrels and a 15” stock I would not be surprised if the Westley Richards goes well over top estimate.

I think I would request it be sent to a qualified gunsmith to check it out he is asking quite a bit .and a no questions ask return policy is in order

Different? Cool? Hardly.

Too short LOP (like so many vintage guns today), 26" barrels (normal for a .410), too little drop, lever to the left .........

Nothing different here, or cool. Same ol' same ol'. As ed said in the title of another of his posts , "Professional" (not) salesmanship.

And no particular reason to assume that the Army and Navy gun might have been made by Westley Richards (unless the A&N records so indicate).

Mind you, as the gun at Holts has a T prefix to the serial number Westley Richards probably had it built by someone else in the Birmingham trade.

That's a mighty light gun at just over 4 lbs.. According to a resident expert (see above) it may have thin walls and would be marginally safe for modern field loads. "an let the buyer beware.."
It's a long road that doesn't turn...And this road is barely 2 weeks old.

Perhaps you shouldn't have trashed battle's thread in his effort to sell his gun two weeks ago. Your own words are what you consider to be trash. I have never criticized a man's efforts to sell his gun like you did two weeks ago. Gil

Keith the reason asking edd for wall thickness he crashed another sale add and asked the same questions he had no intention of buying either ,then edd post on sale site about the amount of out of proof thin barreled guns coming from England so this English 410is fair game to ask the same question.

Still no numbers. You claim you believe in .090/.030. So what are they and how do you know?

That's fine. Obviously, you are hiding something. But I gave you the chance. You didn't get any bids on GB either. No small wonder.
