I have a chance to buy a W.C. Scott 12 ga hammer gun, sleeved by Westley Richards, about 30 inch barrels. 75% fine scroll engraved with small game scenes in ovals on locks and triggerplate. The game scenes are well done with great artistry. SN is 9055, 3 1/4 tons proof, original 2 3/4 chambers. The barrel sleeving was done using the "monobloc" system, so the markings on the barrel flats are from the original build. Extractors, fancy wood, fancy sculpted hammers. In fact it appears the gun was built as an upscale live pigeon gun. The barrels ring very true, a small chip out of the splinter forearm wood, some slight dents and scratches on the buttstock. Although I couldn't measure the stock, the gun fit just like my Chas. Lancaster live pigeon gun.

Can anyone help me as to when the gun may have been built and the approximate value of the gun? I can get the shotgun for $3250. Thank you for any help. Jim Haynes
