Westley Richards introduced a SBT to the U.S. in 1908, marketed by New York Sporting Goods Co. Model of 1908 November 21, 1908 Forest & Stream I'm not sure this is a WR 1909 - https://books.google.com/books?id=nEkcAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA240&lpg Forest & Stream March 11, 1911 "New Model of 1911 WR" https://books.google.com/books?id=m0kcAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA400&lpg Forest & Stream Feb. 8, 1913 "1912 Model" https://books.google.com/books?id=hhjHHPd3VxUC&pg=PA192 https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

It was made in 1908 so looks like it was made in the first year of production. The receiver was case coloured with only a modest amount of engraving. It had a 32" full choke vent rib barrel. Stock dimensions were comparable to current trap guns. It was a bit light at 7 lb 9 oz but with 1 oz loads recoil was modest. From time to time I see one for sale but not too often. A friend now is the proud owner and he shoots it regularly. Bill
