A good friend of mine bought a Westley Richards Anson and Deely box lock double rifle, top lever Model C leverwork in Cal. 577/500 no.2. Very very fine scroll engraving over the entire action. Serial number in the 13,000 range. Bores are excellent, stock is mint, barrels have been blued, I think I can see some damascus pattern. Top rib says "charge 110 grains Bullet 400 grains". Now here is the question. There are NO under lugs, it only lock up by the top lever bolting into the model c dolls head. It is tight on the face and appears to be little used. Is this bolting system strong? Never seen one without the under pinning. Serial number from Westley Richards book puts in the Best Gun range from 1877 to 1884 build date.
