Here are some cool fences, IMHO, on an early H&H Royal: http://www.ivorybeads.com/site/large_image.asp?imgname=Uploads/3_2010_26.JPG I also love Purdey's oak leaf fences.

Btw Nitro, why would an ex-Evans worker have to root, if what you say is true hmmmm? I'd say William Evans had a rich history in the trade! Last edited by Lowell Glenthorne; 03/06/08 10:09 AM.

And here's another Lang Webley double rifle featured in Double Gun Journal a couple years ago; this one in .577 2 3/4" BPE. Very nice treatment of the fences, indeed. Curl www.RoscoeStephenson.com

They are a flat back action, with what look to be back action locks...am I missing something... I would say you are. Originally Posted By: Blackadder They are Webley & Rogers "Screwgrips" per Webley & Brain patent No. 3053 of 1882. (Sometimes called "Jolly Rogers" by Scott-trained gunmakers.) Made initially by P Webley for the trade, then successor Webley & Scott. They do have back-action locks. At a time when a "best" bar-action London SLE would be 60 guineas, these might have been 50, give or take a few pounds. There are tons of guns like these out there (many Evans included), not all made to this standard of fit & finish, though. The higher grades, with fences such as these, are (can be) excellent guns. These guns don't appear to be screw grips. William Evans Pair
