My reference library is thin on British shotguns and I seek help from the members in vetting a WR shotgun.

It is a 12 bore with patented one trigger, scalloped action back, dolls head rib extension, and detachable/drop locks with hinged floor plate, and 30 bbls.

According to the T-series serial number it is 1922-1926 production and I believe 1925 or 1926 as it is stamped with 2 3/4 choke on the underside of the barrels.

I would like to know if the locks are original to the gun. I dont have the gun in hand yet but what I can tell from pictures is that the barrels serial number to the number on the trigger guard tang. There is a different number on the water table that also appears on the lock. I dont see the barrel/TG number stamped on the water table. A separate number is visible on one of the locks that is different than the barrel serial number. Ill post pictures to clarify. I would expect the guns serial number (presumably the same as the barrel/TG number) to be stamped on the locks and water table and all to match? Im aware of patent use numbers but unsure how these would appear.

The gun appears to be fairly high condition and presented as original but I want to make sure this isnt a cobbled together Frankengun.

My other question relates to the proof marks. I dont have a picture of the barrel flats but it looks like everything is stamped forward of the flats on the underside of the barrels before the forearm lug. Is there anything here concerning in terms of reproof, etc.? Minimum wall thickness is reported to be 35 thousandths choked IC and extra-full, proved at 1 1/4 and barrels without forearm weigh 3lbs12oz with gun weighing 7lb 6 oz total.

This is a T series gun which I understand indicates it may have been retailed abroad. I dont have a pic of the rib to see if this is engraved with a retailer or what address it bears although the label in the case reads 23 Conduit St which I believe is correct for the gun. It does seem to have the desirable features of fancy back/scalloped action, the patented one trigger, fancier checkering pattern, and case.

Any thoughts positive or critical, overall impressions and fair market valuation would be welcome.

Ill be following along and can try to answer any questions.
Thanks
