Great looking rifle! Is this a new acquisition? I am negotiating with Westley Richards USA now trying to buy a William Ford 20 bore gun which is in Birmingham. My initial attention to it was obtained because the wood looks like a London Best gun. Should have a definite answer this upcoming week. You'll be the first to see the pics after my son!!!
 
Bought it as a bit of a junker a number years ago. Probably a GI bring-back from the war. Had the stock redone by a semi-professional friend, and the metal-work is by Turnbull - his usual perfect effort. The regulation threw me for a loop for a long time until Ross Seyfried figured it out. Both barrels shoot loads they like MOA, but always about three inches apart vertically. It seems, they were designed that way. The right barrel shoots to the sights at 100 meters and the left barrel shoots to the sights at 200 meters. Damn clever these Germans.
 
I have read of that type of regulation in the past but don't remember where. It could have been from you. I bet that 9.3 could get you a lot more than you paid for it now. Though don't know about recouping your Turnbull costs!!!
