Got 2 out of 3. #1. I got the Westley sidelever I posted earlier. WESTLEY RICHARDS A 12-BORE SIDE LEVER BOXLOCK EJECTOR GUN, NO. 14180 30-inch damascus barrels with 2 1/2-inch chambers, about 1/2 and 3/4 choke borings, doll's head extension, the frame and side lever with fine scroll engraving, the maker's name signed within a scrolling banner, the top surface with removable inspection port, 14 3/4-inch well figured stock with semi pistol grip with 1/4-inch extension and chequered butt plate, 6lb. 11oz., nitro re-proof

#2 E. & G. HIGHAM A .375 (2 1/2-INCH) HAMMER RIFLE, NO. 2940 26-inch sleeved barrels, the file-cut top surface with folding leaf sight, the rounded frame, rebounding back locks, bolted hammers and rotary underlever with scroll engraving, 14 1/2-inch figured stock with pistol grip, cheekpiece and steel butt plate, 9lb. 10oz., nitro proof

Very nice. I especially like that rifle.

I’ll 2nd that.

Wow!! Beautiful guns, Mike. 👌🏼

They're both very nice - but that WR sings to me.

Beautiful guns, I especially admire the rifle too!

What was the one that got away?

Best,
Ted

Ted the had a H&H 10 bore shot and ball island lock hammergun. The estimate was way low at 600 to 800 pounds. I went to 1900 pounds. It hammered at 2000 pounds. Which is still cheap but I'd already bought these two.

Geoff, most WR's sing to me. But, as you say this one is really singing. I'm going to have the barrels browned in the UK before I have it shipped.

The only other sidelever that I've ever seen.
