Anyone intrested in the Enfield No2 revolver

[Brit plumber]

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.

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. Gary

All is forgiven. With a Norton Commando, you are excused anything! Is yours a 750 or an 850?

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

I like them as well.
I have had a few, my first one was mint hardly a shot fired. No 11 mk1.
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.
