Westley Richards & Co.

Westley Richards has been handcrafting guns in the heart of England since the Napoleonic Wars. Founded in 1812 by William Westley Richards, it is now the last-remaining gun company by Birmingham’s famous gun quarter; and one of the oldest surviving gun and rifle makers in Britain. The company has established a reputation for making sporting firearms of the highest quality, whose technical refinement is matched only by the artistry of their decoration.

The company’s independent spirit has cultivated a culture of innovation, adventure & virtuosity, commanding enviable respect from its peers and continuously lionised by true characters of the outdoors. Over its long history Westley Richards is honoured to have been at the forefront of gun development, with revolutionary actions whose influence are still apparent today in modern shotguns and rifles. The company is proud to number among its former clients audacious sportsmen like Ernest Hemingway, Stewart Granger & the Maharaja of Alwar.
