    Second model hand ejector S W 455 and Colt New service 455Eley

    I have had these two Britishicon service revolvers in 455 for long time. WW 1 I think. The SW is English proofed and made in 1915. The Colt New Service is a private purchase 1914 in 455 . I think it was a officer purchase. I have shot both and they work fine.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Its great that you have shot them! Amazing condition!!! I am the guy that buys them, babies them. Adorns them with all the accessories (holsters,mag pouches,pistol belts) and never shoots them. Then sells or trades them at a loss. I think I may have made the first step in acknowledging I have a problem! LOL . Very nice revolvers. Definitely a WW1 .455 fan.

    No problem they are really made well. I almost got a Britishicon Triple lock but it was on hold ,so I got the Second Model instead. Some about ww-1 guns. I have a 1915 DWM Imperial Lugar with brown holster . Good hunting and over the Top lads!!
