It certainly looks like a W&S 12 Bore or gauge as you Americans say. Proofed in Birmingham, England for 1&1/8 ounces of lead shot. I wouldn't suggest you use Magnum loadings in it. A good working shotgun. Someone in the past has boogered up the front faces of the firing pin retainers by the use in an incorrectly sized tool but that's all I can see that is wrong. The Webley & Scott factory records may still exist. Someone on this Forum will certainly know about that. If the gun is 'on face' and locks up tight there isn't a reason I can see for not using it.

Skeettx, The Photobucket slide show worked for me, at least on manual control,maybe because I have my own Photobucket site but then again maybe not. Try again and move your cursor to near the side edge of the picture roughly near the centre of the edge of the picture and a box containing an arrow will appear, just click it and move to the next picture.
