Your gun is most likely newer than 1930. I have a T series in the 10,000s and paid the $65 for WR to provide a certificate of authenticity, photo copies of the ledgers with the builder's name, the customer who ordered it, and the options/features that were put into the gun. Mine was built in 1930. Great documents to have on your gun, I highly recommend.

A number of years ago I had WR #T4842. WR confirmed by letter that it was made in 1913 for Manton & Co, Calcutta. I recall that the gun had the WR name but not Manton's. It was a mid quality boxlock ejector, 12 Ga with 30" steel barrels, modest scroll engraving and the butt stock had some figure and had a straight grip.
Hope this information is helpful.
