Victorian Rook Rifle by P Webley & Sons
Very nice Rook rifle by P Webley and Sons London in 360 Rook calibre.
Decent shooting bore and very good woodwork. Slight pitting in one small external area of barrel, leaf sights intact and excellent mechanics. Could be considerably improved but a completely untouched "sleeper" from an iconic quality maker. read more
Westley Richards Cadet Rifle 310 calibre
Decent Martini Cadet by Westley Richards, good shooting bore and reasonable woodwork as can be seen. Completely untouched and could be significantly improved. Great fun to shoot and very accurate if put on a Firearms Certificate but sold as an antique Section 58(2).
Now becoming very scarce as the Australian sources have now dried up as a result of Draconian Gun Laws. read more

It also features the anchor importation mark on the butt which is con... read more
