Westley Richards Highest Possible

[45flint]

This is the pistol that started it all in England patented in 1907.  Build as solid as an old steam engine of its day. Took it out and got 325 fps with .177 Hobbys which is about the same as Jimmie Dee got with his resealed one.  See his excellent article;

Here is mine below, I believe that its finish is original, but has altered breech lever.  Works perfectly.

Nice! What an interesting design! A bit more going on there than your typical Webley. That is for sure.

Steampunk of air pistols

Been zeroing it in with the elevation adjustment on the rear sight. The pistol is actually very accurate after getting used to the trigger.  Got to be one of the most interesting air pistols ever made?  Just over 1000 made.

   That is a beautiful air pistol.  I am looking for one .  Did you find it at an auction or a gunshow?   It a wow factor for us collectors.  I collectect concentrics and Highest Possible hard to find in USA, not too hard in UK see them on Holts auctions.

That's really cool.   A lot of interesting mechanical stuff came out of England in the olden days.

My purchase contained two WRs so I was planning to sell one on Ebay next month. Can’t justify keeping two. Do you already have one?  Here it is below if interested PM me.
