Very nice! Love the condition.

That's a cool looking vintage pistol - love the grip - thanks for sharing. Still has the lanyard ring too.

I know nothing about these, so that said, stupid question time. What is the thing under and to the right of the diamond on the grip? Is it a defect or something that is supposed to be there?

I'm looking at this on my phone so I can't see it very well, even when I try to zoom in.

Very nice one, if you're interested in the history of types of webleys and especially the hump on top of the gripc&rsenal on youtube has a fantastic video about it. 58 min...

Very Nice Pistol Lew... Have you shot it at all???

And Woody_be.. Awesome link the History part of this piece was nothing less then Mind blowing.. fantastic..

The commentary at the end got a little long in the weeds.. But many thanks for the link..

Neat! Have you shot it yet?

[Enfield Shooter]

VERY, VERY NICE. I would suspect the mark on the grip is damage as I've not seen any Webley grips with that mark before. Noe the important question, how does it shoot?

[S.B.]

Very nice Lew, thanks for sharing.

Appears to be a 6. A racking number or some other sort of id'ing mark. Doesn't appear to be damage, too intentional looking.

Indy 1919a4, Mid. and Enfield Shooter, I haven't had the opportunity to shoot yet but I do have custom ammo using 44spl cases and soft lead/hollow base, bullets that I feed my other 442s. Get it from Colorado Custom Cartridge.

May I be very nosy and ask how much they charge for a box... I am not a reloader and it would be nice to have a place to get such ammo if the need arises..

Initial 50 rnd box, cheaper as you have them reload the brass, $105. You gotta want to shoot badly! Never seen it any where else![
