But sometimes the style of the marks can whittle down the era it was proofed to a few years. No 'date code' in the Belgian proof marks till 1922. Most likely they'll be Belgian.,but they could prove to be English. Been in business a longtime and started in London.Ĭheck the proof marks on the bbl flats and the action flat. Marketing to a Montomergy Wards catalog type audience a century+ ago.īut,There is a Brit maker named 'W.Richards' who put out some decent SxS's also. There were some marked with names close to other famous makers of the time too,'S.Holt',T. A twist no doubt on the name of the famous Brit maker. 'W.Richards' was a somewhat common trade name used on Belgian made shotguns of the time. It's probably 1890's vintage,perhaps early 1900's. Can anyone give me some idea of the vintage and value of this W.Richards shotgun is ? Thanks in advance Bullet
