Description:
NSN, .380 CF, 4 7/8" barrel with a very good, lightly freckled bore. This is a well-proportioned revolver that has retained 85-90% of the original nickel finish with most of the loss occurring on the cylinder, and along the barrel. Some dark plum-brown freckling is present where the nickel has flaked in spots to the underlying metal. The barrel rib and topstrap are engraved in block letters: “YORK HOUSE, REGENT STREET, LONDON"; and the Tranter “football" trademark is present on the left side of the barrel. The one-piece walnut grip is in very good condition with only minor handling marks and blemishes, and some mild flattening of the points. The barrel lock-up is tight, and the action functions flawlessly. York House was the HQ for the Junior Army & Navy Store, a similarly named competitor to the much better known Army & Navy Cooperative Society Ltd., and guns with their address are seldom seen today.
