    "Webley Story" vs "Webley Revolvers"

    To anyone who's seen both: What's the difference between "Webley Story, A History of Webley Pistols and Revolvers" by William Chipchase Dowell, and "Webley Revolvers" by Bruce and Reinhart? The latter is supposed to be a revised edition (with a much higher price), which suggests improvement, and yet it has noticeably fewer pages.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    B&R's book has far better pictures and was published in two books, one for revolvers and one for auto pistols. Higher price for better pictures. It still would not hurt to have both revolver books.

    Thanks, breakeyp. That's exactly what I needed to know. There's a copy of the older book available locally, but not cheap enough that I'd take it over a better edition. I'll keep looking.
