Best Answer

The guns sold under the name W. Richards were low cost firearms, mainly made in Belgium, that attempted to cash in on the name of the well known English gun maker, Westley Richards. They were not related to the Westley Richards company. They were listed in the Sears Roebuck catalogues in the early 1900s. Something like buying a watch that says "ROLUX"....not the same as a Rolex.

Depending on condition, between $50-$150. W. Richards was a brand sold by Sears around 1900, and was playing on the name of an unrelated very high quality English gun, the Westley Richards (no relation) Laminated steel was the term used for a form of twist steel barrel. These should NOT be fired with any modern smokeless ammo- and should be inspected by a gunsmith before shooting anything. But it would look great over the fireplace.
