Webley & Scott Mark IV (aka Webley Mark IV), .38 S&W, Revolver Manufactured 1943, World War II Vintage

Description:
This Webley & Scott Mark IV (aka Webley Mark IV) revolver has a five-inch barrel and a six-shot cylinder and is chambered for .38 S&W.  The new holster is not original to this revolver, but it is period correct and representative of the holsters issued with Webley and Enfield pistols during WWII.   The year of manufacture of this Webley revolver believe to be 1943.

The gun is stamped “WEBLEY & SCOTT LTD" on top of the barrel/frame above the cylinder.  Just below that, on the left side of the frame, just above the cylinder is stamped "MARK IV .38".  Also on the left side of the frame, just forward of the cylinder retaining cam and cylinder is stamped with a crown (first line), “GR” (second line), crossed flags (third line), and what looks like “P”, but could be a "B" (fourth line).  Also on the left side of the frame, just forward of the grip panel, is stamped “WAR FINISH”. 

On the right side of the barrel, just forward of the cylinder and below the top of the barrel, are several stamps as follows:  NP.p (proof mark) (not sure the small p is part of the NP), “.38” (caliber),   “767” (casing length), and “3.5   TONS” (working pressure in long tons per square inch).  There is another mark above the NP, buy I cannot make it out; it is not a letter or number.

On the right side of the frame, behind the cylinder, and near the grip panel is stamped four marks in vertical order.  The first one I cannot make out (first line), a crown (second line), an “E” pointing upward (third line), and a vertical mark followed by a regular “E".  The serial number, 106191, is stamped on the frame below the cylinder.  Six various marks are stamped on the cylinder, one between each cylinder-lock groove; they are difficult to make out as the stamps were not well done.  All three serial number stamps match – the one on the frame, the one on the bottom of the barrel in front of the hinge (shows only “191”, the last three digits of the whole number), and the one on the rear face of the cylinder.    

The overall condition of this gun is approximately 95 percent.  It retains about 95 percent of its original “WAR FINISH” bluing.  Most of the wear is on the edges of the various parts – the six edges of the barrel and sight ramp, the cylinder, the trigger guard, etc.  There are a few very small dings to the metal, again on the edges of the various parts. The bore is in excellent condition – bright and shiny with no corrosion.  The action is in excellent condition, functioning correctly in both double and single-action modes.  The “Webley” hard-rubber, checkered grips are original to the gun and are in excellent condition.  They do show some wear, but very little.

The buyer pays $25 USPS Priority Mail and $21.20 insurance (actual price per USPS ) 

The fastest way to get this gun is to pay with a USPS (U.S. Postal Service) money order, as they are like cash, and I don’t have to wait for them to clear.  However, I will accept a personal check, other type checks, or other type money orders, but I will hold the gun until it clears my bank; that includes bank checks and cashier’s checks.  Check or money orders must be made out to Jerry Pownall or Barboursville Arms.
