Interesting Mike!

In my many years of following Westley Richards shotguns I’ve never heard of a Sidelever gun. Is it possibly a conversion? I see a filler in the top strap where the top lever would have been and the original function of the dolls head rib extension was to engage the Westley Patent C-Bolt, which was the designation of the sliding bite from the pivoting top lever. Without the top lever / sliding bite the dolls head is unnecessary.
