1942 WWII British ENFIELD No 2 .38/200 Service Revolver SIDEARM C&R .38 DI*
Fine Example of the World War II British Sidearm!
Here we present a World War II Vintage British Enfield No. 2 MK I* Revolver in .38/200, made in England in 1942. The No. 2 was the most prevalent sidearm amongst British officers, NCOs and tankers during World War II. The original design came from Webley & Scott around the end of World War I, though initially, production was given to the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield. Essentially, the British government tried to steal W&S’s design and make them in-house until Enfield couldn’t keep up and Webley & Scott was contracted to produce as well. Those produced by Enfield were known as the No. 2 MK I. In about 1938 the MK I* was introduced and these were built from the ground up as double action only revolvers with no hammer spur, and most of the original MK Is were converted as they rotated through the armory. This change was to prevent hammer spurs from snagging on clothing when soldiers needed them most. Many of these were used by tankers, pilots, and officers.
This one features a “42” date on the top of the barrel along with War Department broad arrows throughout. The right side of the frame is marked “DI*” for the model designation. The barrel is marked “ENGLAND” on the right side of the barrel. Proofed on the cylinder and the barrel. Military acceptance markings. A very nicely preserved British sidearm!
The overall condition is fine. Nearly complete Parkerized finish. Matching numbers. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with nice rifling. The holster is in great shape. It has a leather exterior and shearling interior. The belt loop on the back is embossed “LYON & COULSON/BUFFALO, N.Y.” A piece of history!
