Halifax this one? Well I have had the gun for some fifty plus years now, so it will be a death do us part thing and a problem for my sons.
The only lessons in my life I truly did learn from where the ones I paid for!

Damascus,
That is a beautiful looking gun (and a new or refurbished case too). I hope you take it out and shoot it on occasion. The checkering looks sharp. Did you do some stock work on The old Purdey?
Personally, I love hammer guns and I have owned several English specimens over the years. In fact I just took my old H & H, circa 1876, out to my club to pattern it. I am taking it partridge shooting this coming season - a first. I was surprised at how good and consistent the patterns were with a gun with virtually no choke constrictions.
I must have watched that film three times over the years. Wonderful film with an excellent screen play and casting. As I recall, that was James Mason's last film.
I'll PM you, if you don't mind.
Michael

The Webley & Scott 700 legacy
Webley & Scott started to manufacture the model 700 around 1947 at a time when Britain was starting to recover after the Second World War with the initial guns being made as 12 and 16 bore Boxlocks. Because of dealer pressure especially from the US 20 and 28 bores where introduced in the 1960�s though all the guns made before the introduction of the 701 & 702s, where made as grade 3 the 701 & 702 models where introduced in the early 1950�s having higher quality wood and a little more elaborate engraving. Damascus Great thread, very informative. Thanks for sharing Damascus. I came across a Webley & Scott catalogue dated to 1953 which shows and describes the three grades of the model 700. See attached. Model 701 Model 702 Model 700 A few pictures of the Webley & Scott 700 Series, Grade II (702), 12 bore, 2 3/4 inch, 28 inch barrels, 6 lbs. 4 ounces. ________ TC

Here's a 'Charles Dawson' 12 bore BLE, proofed in 1962. I've learned that Charles was better known as Ken Dawson, and he worked as a stocker and finisher at 10/11 St Mary's Row in Birmingham. I think the gun was built on a Webley action, and engraved by Walter Howe. If anyone can confirm this or has observations or comments, I'd be grateful. https://i.imgur.com/IonhlLT.jpeg

I have a Webley and Scott, 410 gauge side by side ejector model. It's a lovely little gun with 28 inch barrels, choked ful and full, 75mm chambers. It also comes in a tiny motor case, I think that it was made in the 1920's, but not 100% sure. There is also a strange serial number on the action and barrels which I can't figure out.!
