My1930 Westley Richards .318 Accelerated Express, serial number 42223.
In my humble opinion this is the kind of rifle that stops a true sporting-arms enthusiast in his tracks. Still in its original condition, it carries the unmistakable elegance of classic Birmingham craftsmanship—clean lines, honest patina, and that quiet authority only an unmolested Westley can project. The rifle retains its original Westley Richards quick-detach bases, perfectly paired with its original serial number matching Zeiss scope whose integrated rings and surviving Zeiss leather cover speak to decades of careful stewardship. The wood is worn to a warm, glowing patina, and tells a story of travels, safaris, and gentlemen who knew what a proper rifle should be.
This rifle has all the right details, all the right history, and all the charm that made this collector fall hard—love at first sight!
