I think these were for the Flare gun rather than the revolver and if I remember correctly there is a part on the pistol or stock needs to be removed to make them fit.

I have never seen one of those here in Canada. I wonder how much they were actually used.

The stock is for the Webley No.1 Mk1 flare gun that uses the same frame as the Mark VI .455 pistol. The frame has a groove machined into the lower part of the grip area. A matching tenon on the stock plate aligns the stock to the frame during recoil. Many people have ground the tenon off or poorly cut a groove to make something to go with the pritchard pistol bayonet. I have seen no published data to legitimize this stock configuration.

Wasn't this contraption also used on the Webley 1.5" line throwing gun too, used as recently as the 70's or so on lifeboats. I was reliably told by a famed Webley fiend that zillions of the parts were assembled up into complete units from remaining stocks after the Webley factory closed down.
