For once, here in Hampshire I can see your photographs very clearly - thanks!

Looks like an excellent find, although to British eyes the beavertail fore-end does look odd. We don't have beavers here...

I would be fascinated to know how much it weighs - I am guessing 5 lbs 12 ounces?? 1966 sounds about right for that serial number, and the colour case hardening is superb!

You have beavers now, as they were re-introduced in Dorset in 2025. Here you can read about them.

Too me it clearly looks like RB between the crossed swords

Can someone gave me the blue book value of the gun. Would be much appreciated. Plan on keeping it for now.

OK, I know that there are some that have been illegally released in various parts. They are playing hell with the rivers and upsetting the trout fishermen.
I suspect that 'rewilding' is misguided, but perhaps that is a topic for another post.

My 1946 Webley 12 bore has 30inch barrels, a Prince of Wales semi-pistol grip and a splinter fore-end, just like the Percy Stanbury gun. It weighs 6.8 pounds and works beautifully on pheasants.

Our baby poults will arrive next week to be nurtured by us until mid-October, when we will encourage them to fly.
