Re: Those SLEEVED guns again

Jon,
As the Proof House were then insisting on stamping SLEEVED on the outside of the breech end of the barrels Westley Richards made a virtue out of a necessity by emblazoning Westley Richards above the Proof House stamp.
I am sure I saw a Westley Richards advert in Shooting Times in the 1960’s stating they were doing this to show they stood by the Quality of their work. They are one of the few who sleeved who clearly identified their work.
Fortunately my Green is one of their better efforts with a neat enough join.
I have seen guns sleeved by others where the solder band (or even worse the gap) is so wide that it looks as if the sleever meant to inlay a gold band but plain forgot 🤩
