The live portion of this session begins on Thursday, December 17, 2026.
Circa 1905-1906 per "Webley & Scott: Automatic Pistols" by Bruce. Classically configured large frame with blade front sight, U notch cut into top break lever, and marked "ARMY & NAVY C.S.L" across the rib. British crowned "BV" and "BP" proofs flanking the start of the rib, " "WEBLEY FOSBERY" " on left side of top strap. British BV proofs over each chamber, lightened holster guide, and typical frame legends for a .455 Cordite with winged bullet logo, serial number, and crowned "BV" proof. Lanyard loop at butt, checkered grips with partially mullered borders, matching serial number on internals, left grip with correct "SAFE" marking exposed when safety is positively engaged. Housed in an English case with escutcheon in lid engraved "A.G.S", no doubt the officer who purchased this revolver. Interior lined in bright blue, cartridge block with two round of ammo, turnscrew, and wiping rod. CONDITION: Excellent. Top break lever appears to be a replacement, but balance of pistol retains the majority of the original brushed blue finish, mixing with a soft chocolate patina on the barrel assembly, and some other scattered areas such as straps. Some scattered marks from handling and storage over years. Mechanically fine, bore with strong rifling and some mild frosting and residue. Case and accessories very good.
