I have a W/R,, I guess it's a T series SxS 12ga.
Ser# is 'T70xx' (I honestly can't recall the last 2 numbers)
Ejectors, straight grip, about 70% scroll engraved but the plainest fence post wood they could find.
--snip--
Same proofs as the one shown (1 1/4oz,,12/c in diamond,,etc). But all the bbl proofs are on the bottom of the tubes forward of the flats,,nothing on the flats at all.
Each tube is also ser#'d ahead of the flats. Also marked 'Westley Richards Steel' around a triangle mark. Action flats have ser# and a Crown/BV on each side.
Kutter,
Looks like your T series and mine have several things in common and several differences. Interesting that all your proof marks are on the barrels and mine are on the flats. I have the serial nos on the flats but not the 'Westley Richards Steel' (I'd rather like that on mine!)
I have stripped mine down part-way but my screwdrivers aren't fine enough to unscrew the screw beneath the action and I know what will happen if I try too hard (another buggered screw slot). Since I have to send the gun off to have the action tightened I'll have the gunsmith strip and clean the action. The top lever spring also needs replacing.
Like yours, it looks as though WR looked around for the most boring piece of wood they coud find and fashioned my stock out of it! When I got the gun the wood was soaked with 3-in-1 which I have had to remove with acetone and calcium carbonate powder. When I have re-oiled the stock I hope it will look better.
If you have some pics, I'd love to see what your WR looks like.
