| Using information gleaned from the firm's comprehensive archives, Walter Clode made regular visits to India buying for resale classic weapons from the Indian Princes who had been such strong supporters of the firm in earlier days - this was to be the firm's salvation. He then turned his attention to building up a strong engineering base which was to serve well in the much needed modernisation of the gun business. Westley Richards was now back among the world's premier gunmakers, building 'best' shotguns and rifles. |

Today, under the management of Simon, his son, the stringent standards and enviable tradition continue to maintain Westley Richards as one of the greatest names in gunmaking. In Great Britain, the USA and throughout the world, the company is managed by people who understand and love guns. While manufacture and development of fine sporting rifles and shotguns continues, the firm's activities have expanded - shooting accessories have been reintroduced, soon to be followed by a range of sporting apparel.
