As the title says, is there a Enfield No.2 revolver fan or collector out there? There dosn't appear to be much info available, I have the book by Stamps and Skenerton, may be they've covered everything there is to know.
Cheers,Chris.

I likes 'em!
They didn't cover everything by any means...... in the nicest possible way of course. We have a LOAD of info on them at Warminster and I have recently put a selection of them on display in a glass case.
But I don't think that there's sufficient for a new forum..... or is there?
There are plenty of myths though. I like them. They called it
'Enfields smallest product but biggest headache'
I have one from Singapore. And it has a safety and an un bobbed hammer. I likes it. Gary
With a safety Arado.......... Are you sure that it's an Enfield?
Whoops it's a Webley. A MK II in .38. Issue to SPF 1956. I have a bobbed tanker that's not as much fun. GaryQuote:

Mine is a 1973 750. The last of them, but it has the Superblend bottom end introduced with the 850. Regards, GaryQuote:

Use to shoot police pistol comps with it , much to every ones dislike as they had real expensive ones and mine cost 25 quid plus post. and I use to shoot better than most with it. The only mod I made was to change the fore sight and reduce its height to lift the point of aim for the reduced loads I shot.
I have had 4 others, I never got rid of them til the uk ban came in, and the last one was a No2 mk 1 as well but was rare, I cannot remember its serial number but I do remember it was dated 1932 (at least I think it was 1932, it was 14 years ago now) and predated the Royal Navy trial guns.
I still have hundreds of .38 S & W cases which I got from the Birmingham proof house in 1984.

Ian Skennerton's web site offers a book on the Enfield .38 written by Mark Stamps.
I have one made in Vietnam and so marked. They apparently had a spare cylinder and made everything else.
