I ran into an old invoice from Kenya Bunduki in Nairobi the other day. There were six .318 Westley Richards rifles listed on it, five by Westley Richards and one by Jeffrey. The most any of them cost was 800 K/S. The exchange rate for the Kenya shilling at the time was seven to one, so the 800 K/S represented an investment of $114.29. Granted, that was almost fifty years ago and the rifles were for the most part in pretty rough condition, but still, that's quite an appreciation in investment for whoever bought the particular rifle that Cabelas in trying to sell, which looks as though it had been around the block as well, and then refinished.
Len Bull was manager of the store, and he gave me free access to his gun vault. I was buying rifles for a projected retail store, which took shape shortly afterwards.
