Nigel, Kutter,
The T should be included in the serial number. A member of our gun club has a Westley Richards with a T #. The same thing as your experience, Kutter, happens when put into the WR website - with the T it's a 1915 gun, w/o an 1890 gun. The 1915 looks more accurate, with the gun and its style and condition. Then, when we got the ledger copy for the gun from the WR company (using the T serial #), it matched the other characteristics of the gun (bore, lenth, style, etc), including the buyer, which was located in Japan (the gun was purchased in Japan by the curent owner). If I remember correctly, the T was on the action and the barrels, but not the fore end.
