Best Answer

The W. Richards shotguns were mainly made in Belgium. They were an attempt by Sears Roebuck Company to cash in on the well known English gunmaker Westley Richards, but have no connection to the Westley Richards Company. There were listed in the Sears catalogs from the late 1890s and early 1900s.

Who made a double barrel shotgun with ELG on Barrel and Serial?

Sounds like it could be a Westley Richards & Co. knockoff. Research Westley Richards guns and see if u can narrow it down. I believe the ELG is a Begian Proof Mark. True W. Richards shotguns were made in England. Howere, at the time there were 17 other registered gunmakers in England at the time with the name Richards. A TRUE Westley Richards will never have the first name abbreviated.
