Leicester hunter 0 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hi all, I've had this 12 bore SS now for a couple of years, but cant figure out what make it is? Its on my licence as a Westley Richards, but after contacting them, they say its not one of theirs, they simply re sleeved it. (Says Westley Richards sleeved on the barrells) Ive enclosed a few pics. I think it maybe an AYA or Yeoman? Any ideas? Cheers Quote Link to post

coldweld 65 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 What do's it say on the barrel flats ? If i was to guess i would say Birmingham made looks nothing like my AYA yeoman, apart from it a s/s boxlock ! Quote Link to post

The Hunting Mouse 1 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Sorry mate i cant help you on the make but thats one nice s/s ATB matthew Quote Link to post
andyf 144 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 last one No that's not an AYA Yeoman (they are a 'nail' not a gun). Yours is no nail, and someone paid Westley Richard's about 5x the cost of a 'Yeoman' to make new barrels for it. Yours is most likely a Birmingham boxlock from the 1950's, I've seen 100's like it, but that said it's only worth £350>£500 on a good day, nice gun! Make sure you use it! AndyF Quote Link to post

AndyF Thanks for all your help. Its a cracking little gun, swings beautifully, and I do use it plenty. As i said, had it a couple of years, and only paid £150 for it anyway! Quote Link to post
