Westley Richards Double Barrel Hammer Shotgun

Would like to get as much information as possible about this odd shotgun, marked W. Richards, I'm not too familiar with English double guns. Shotgun is a side by side with side hammers, right barrel marked 17.2 with very small np. Left barrel marked E/LG, small marking under LG possibly a star or crown all in an oval; also has an S with another illegible star or crown, and a fancy cursive L similar to the symbol for pounds sterling. DD on barrel lug. Barrel rib marked laminated steel. Breech release lever swings out to open action, secondary metal lever releases barrel from receiver. These levers close to form the forearm, instead of traditional wood. Gun appears to be well made but far from any high end piece. Read another post about Belgium knockoffs and different manufacturers, just trying to find the true manufacturer and approximate age. Also have general photos I can post if needed, markings are too small to show.

Manufactured in the mid-1890s, although possibly not retailed until the early 1900s, this gargantuan gun was made for close range work where optimum stopping power was more desirable than accuracy. With very heavy blacked barrels respectively signed 'WESTLEY RICHARDS & CO.' And 'LONDON,' and each engraved with a band of stylized foliage at the breech end. Broad file cut matted raised solid rib. This big bore duck gun is an early example of work from the world famous maker Westley Richards and dates to circa 1843. With browned damascus barrel signed by the maker and with casehardened patent breech finely engraved with a game bird in flight on the top flat. Border and scroll engraved standing breech with sighting groove, and signed game scene engraved lock.
