Chaps, there's a lively discussion on Facebook (of all places) regarding the Enfield Revolver No.2 and why the hammer spur was removed (or why they were made without them).

Is there a definitive reason anyone has come across? I've read these pages and got little gems of info but is there a proper guide?

Some say it's the "Tankies" only version and that infantry officers had something else. Some say that others had them but Tankies had nothing else.

Can anyone assist? I appreciate this is a basic question but it's a pretty basic argument.

Thanks.
