BOER WAR Era British WEBLEY Mark IV .455 Caliber DOUBLE ACTION Revolver C&R BRITISH MILITARY Service Revolver!
Description: BOER WAR Era British WEBLEY Mark IV .455 Caliber DOUBLE ACTION Revolver C&R BRITISH MILITARY Service Revolver! Here we present a C&R British Webley Mark IV Revolver in .455, made in Birmingham, England circa 1899 to 1913. The Webley Revolver, also known as the Webley Top-Break Revolver or Webley Self-Extracting Revolver was the standard issue service revolver for the armed forces of the United Kingdom, the British Empire and the Commonwealth, from 1887 to 1970. Webley & Scott (P. Webley & Son before merger with W & C Scott in 1897) produced a range of revolvers from the mid-19th to late 20th centuries. As early as 1853 P. Webley and J. Webley began production of their first patented single action cap and ball revolvers. Later under the trade name of P. Webley and Son, manufacturing included their own 0.44 caliber rim-fire solid frame revolver as well as licensed copies of Smith & Wesson's Tip up break action revolvers. The quintessential hinged frame, center-fire revolvers for which the Webley name is best known first began production/development in the early 1870s most notably with the Webley-Pryse (1877) and Webley-Kaufman (1881) models. The W.G. or Webley-Government models produced from 1885 through to the early 1900s, (often incorrectly referred to as the Webley-Green) are the most popular of the commercial top break revolvers and many were the private purchase choice of British military officers and target shooters in the period, coming in a .476/.455 caliber. However other short-barrel solid-frame revolvers, including the Webley RIC (Royal Irish Constabulary) model and the British Bulldog revolver, designed to be carried in a coat pocket for self-defense were far more commonplace during the period. Today, the best-known are the range of military revolvers, which were in service use across two World Wars and numerous colonial conflicts. The Webley Mk I service revolver was adopted in 1887 and the Mk IV rose to prominence during the Boer War of 1899–1902. The Mk VI, introduced in 1915 during the First World War, is perhaps the best-known model. This one has the double broad arrows point to point for in and out of service. This one has been converted to .45 ACP with clips as a later update. The overall condition is fine. Nice finish. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with strong rifling. The grips are in great shape. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 4 inches. Caliber: .45 ACP Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2215 #217565 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes |
