Hi all - first time posting, I hope you guys can help me out. I have an old H Richards 10 gauge double barrel. The shotgun has the old hammers on it. Does anyone know any thing about these shotguns? Also wondering what these are worth. The shotgun is in fairly good shape. Thanks Eric
 
It is probably a "hardware store" gun made by Crescent, Davis, or some nameless guild collection of cottage industries in Belgium.

Westley Richards is a long time major big name in British gunmaking.
There were a lot of minor makes trying to capitalize on the name with variations they hoped the customer and the trademark lawyers would not notice.
 
You may occasionally find a Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) participant who wants that sort of thing.

10 guage loaded with black powder is a hoot.
