I recently picked up this Webley & Scott 12 gauage. The action is tight and the bores excellent. I'm told #68,327 would have been made in 1904. It has 2 3/4" chambers and was nitro proofed for 1 1/4 oz. The barrels are 30" and marked mod choke and full choke ahead of the flats. A friend said that would indicate it was made for export to North America. I looked at a 1914 catalogue and the action seems to have some of the features of a W.C. Scott action (cross bolt) and some from the Webley. It has an auto safety and the word safe is in gold. The forend pulls off and the extractors are raised by a piece on the forend, not the action. It has a black ribbed plastic? butt plate. Was this a common action design? How would it be described, just as a boxlock? At 7lb 9oz it isn't a lightweight. Would this be a typical fowling piece from that time period? It looks original to me but I haven't much experience with SxS guns. I hope there aren't too many pictures. Any comments you might have would be appreciated. Thank you.
