What moves the price
Westley Richards over-and-unders are rare, hand-built and expensive — our single result made £12,000, comfortably the top of its category. This is a maker's gun rather than a market gun.
The 1914 patent hand-detachable lock is the signature feature and the thing collectors pay for. Verify the locks are original to the gun and that the spare-lock provision, if it had one, is complete.
With so few examples, published results are the only guide, and even then each gun is close to unique. Treat any single figure here as a data point, not a market.
Retail expectation: Effectively bespoke. £14,000 upwards from a dealer, gun by gun.
