The action of this gun is unique in that it incorporates the Westley Richards Dolls head rib extension,the W.&C.Scott square cross bolt,Purdey under bolt, side clips and the Greener side safety. The gun is clearly designed as a Pigeon gun hence the 2 3/4 chambers. The standard nitro proof test for 2 3/4 chambers allows the use of a service charge of 1 1/4 ozs; as marked on this example.
It looks like a good quality gun.I can,t help wondering if the Mr.Wright of this partnership went on to establish the business of S. Wright, a supplier of fine guns to the British trade, ultimately ending up as a subsidiary of Churchills.[ie: having made Curchills box lock guns for many years prior to their aquisition.]
P.S As recommended by others please do replace the top lever screw because it detracts from this otherwise very nice gun!
