I don't believe it has been shot and in all respects is as near new as possible for a 19 year old gun. The engraver is Vince Crowley, a still current and well thought of Westley engraver. The work is amazing, almost three dimensional and very lifelike. I've looked quite some time to find an English non-12 gauge gun with superlative wood and engraving like this that I could afford. Now to find out if I can shoot it well! Westley makes a fine firearm. I can only imagine the engraving, VC is very very good. I am sure you did well.
