Webley & Scott and W & C Scott is one of the best-known names in the British sporting gun trade. They made a lot of guns but also produced some very high-quality pieces. Right at 85,000 double guns were made by Webley & Scott from 1897 to 1979. They provided a lot of semi-finished and finished guns to nearly everyone in the trade. P. (Philip) Webley set up shop in 1838 and William Scott had started in 1834, in 1897 they joined and became Webley & Scott. Under that name they made guns until 1979 and then it again became W & C Scott. In 1985 Holland & Holland acquired the name and I believe the last Scott made was in 1991. Anyone who has shot or hunted with an English boxlock, regardless of the name on the gun, most likely has shot a Webley rifle or smoothbore.
