Have seen lots of stuff over the years marketed by WR, but never one of those.:eusa_clap
I LOVE that Mauser!Levallois said:It started with the pith helmet over on the hats forum but I had to post it here too as there is a related gun (of course).
Westley Richards marked and retailed 1896 Mauser Conehammer made in 1899 and sold on January 31, 1900 to a Sir Richard Wilson. Perhaps right before he left for South Africa to fight the Boers?
