Hello All,

I'm in the final stages of acquiring a W. Richards 577/500. (William Richards) I'd like some help determining the date of the rifle and possibly something about the maker.

Its a 500 No.2 Express (577/500) - It's an an Underlever with Non-Rebounding Hammers - 28" Barrels - A&T Henry's Patent Rifling - Birmingham proofs?

Its not a very robust rifle, weighing only 8 Lbs. 9 Oz.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Here are a few pics.
