Walter Betts shotgun question
Howdy All:

Posted in shotgun section also:

I was hoping someone here on AR would know about this shotgun maker, Walter Betts Whittall Street Birmingham England. All the dealer told me was the shotgun is from the early 1900s. Just wondering about quality, reputation, etc. Decent enough restoration on it I think.

The reason I got it was I have a WJ Jeffery .500 NE double rifle with hammers and I thought this would be the perfect practice gun.

Thanks!

I had the privilege to fire E. Hemingway's WR .577NE, E. Keith's WR .470NE, & F. Jamieson's WJJ .500 Jeffery
I strongly recommend avoidance of "The Zambezi Safari & Travel Co., Ltd." and "Pisces Sportfishing-Cabo San Lucas"
