(Circa 1920) 30" Dovetailed barrels are engraved with makers name and address on narrow, slightly swamped game rib with extension. Barrel flats are stamped with Birmingham nitro proofs for 2-1/2" chambers. Case hardened boxlock action features automatic safety, bushed strikers, Scott's famous and very effective "Screw grip" third fastener, and double triggers. Action is engraved with 80% coverage well cut scroll within scroll borders. "Webley & Scott Ltd" is on each side. Blued top lever, floorplate, and trigger guard have matching scroll. Serial number is on trigger guard tang. Lightly figured, but relatively plain, European walnut straight grip buttstock measures 14-3/4" over checkered wood butt. Flat top point pattern checkering is at grip and a vacant silver oval is on toe line. Matching splinter ejector forend has Anson release. CONDITION: Fine, as partially refinished. Barrels retain nearly all of a good quality re-black. Action retains 60-70% original case hardening color. Normally blued parts are re-blued. Stocks have good quality rubbed oil refinish, which have a few subsequent marks. Checkering cleaned up. Bores are excellent. Action is tight. Ejectors are strong and in time. This is a lot of gun for the money. MGM 60.
