WESTLEY-RICHARDS .447 SKIN CARTRIDGE – VERY NICE
SPECIMEN: As employed in the Westley-Richards
“Monkey Tail” Rifles and Carbines, this .447
Westley-Richards Skin Cartridge is in very good
condition. Full length with the cloth opening pull tape
still intact, this cartridge was once glued to a
cartridge display board and then removed, resulting in
some minor damage to the one side of the outer layer of
cartridge wrapping paper. As this wrapping paper only
serves to protect the cartridge held within, no damage
occurred to the cartridge proper. The external wrapping
suffered some loss of paper which is limited to one side
of the cartridge. The cartridge still displays well on
the undamaged side and the tube is still solid, is full
form, and retains its tubular shape. This is a very
respectable specimen of a scarce cartridge to display
with your Westley-Richards Rifle. (0786) $250
