Shinbone: I had a H and H 20 b with a dogs head ext felt to be a W.C. Scott action (not Webley). It looked like a bar action sidelock, but in reality it was a 5-pin back action sidelock lacking intercepting sears. It was a nice gun but nowhere on the gun did it say Scott. The experts tell me in the 20s when this gun was made the big makers and some smaller makers outsourced to the trade to fill orders. Purdey and Boss and others did the same thing. This particular gun was made for a woman or child with a short stock. I was also told it may have been a gamekeepers gun. It was very nice and lively, well balanced but not in the same league as a Best Royal, etc. Jaqua's has this particular gun and a ways back I saw Cabelas had one very similar. At the time it was about a $14-15K gun. Buzz
