I have a Westley Richards 2" 12 bore shotgun that is the number 1 gun of a pair. It was made for the Maharaja of Alwar and delivered in 1933. I think he was removed as the Raj in the same year. I don't know when the gun was exported out of India and if the number 2 gun was exported as well. Searches on the internet do not come up with any information on these shotguns. I have requested a letter from Westley Richards. Is there somewhere I could find additional information on these guns?

Re: Alwar Shotgun
Go to the WESTLEY RICHARDS website and enter the gun number in question and you will recieve the necessary history of that gun.

Re: Alwar Shotgun
Thanks. I have contacted Westley Richards and am waiting on a letter. I'm more interested in finding out what happened with the number 2 and if anyone there is other information about the guns being used in India.
