Webley Expert's I Have A Question

[BruceHMX]

Unfortunately the only photo with a serial number is the frame. No photos of the barrel and cylinder numbers are provided but seller listed matching numbers and I also spoke to him on phone. So was there any refurb process that would have matched these together, serial numbered them?

[browningautorifle]

Not a process...just someone doing it. I seriously doubt the military did that...? You'd need to see the number font...

100% put together, the barrel is '15 proofed and the frame 1918 dated. The barrel says MkV the frame says MkVI, Webley would never let a gun out with misleading marks like that.

So it's none of this cow poop that well the Brits needs weapons after Dunkirk and they just put them together? LOL I pretty much knew that but want to run it by you guys.

I wouldn't mind it as a shooter though. Except for top break revolvers not being the strongest, that might be OK in .45 ACP...

[BruceHMX]

Problem is Jim he is not asking a "shooter" price for it.

Bruce,
Have to agree with Brit Plumber, however, if you get it for around £300 you'll be quids in regardless. If you want it to collect with don't bother IMHO!!

WW2 footage on the 1911 .45 ACP in use thought it was quite good.

not asking a "shooter" price

Yes, I get that. There will be others.

WW2 footage

I'm betting you've taught that very thing on the 25 yd with Hi Powers...?

Jim,
Yes certainly have with Brownings, but not with the grip safety on the Colt.
I often found that innovative introduction very clever, until crap gets in around the safety groove then you have real issues
