Just happen to have a re-print of the 1898 Army and Navy Gun Department catalogue.

This is the only price match at 8 Guineas (£8.8.0).

Yours looks to be the model on the left.

Mr. Hamilton may have bought it for himself, his wife (at least they didn’t offer ladies models in pink in those days), son or daughter.

By 1898, if you were building a boxlock and weren’t W.W. Greener it was 99% likely to be an Anson and Deeley (and Greener’s built A&D guns too).

No obvious Westley Richards features that I can see. A photo of the barrel flats and under the barrels might give a clue as to who built it for A&N.
