Webley Mk I Service Revolver, "Army & Navy CSL", .45 ACP
This is a rare, factory nickel plated Webley Mk I revolver retailed by the "Army & Navy Co-operative Society Limited". The rear of the cylinder has been modified to accept .45 ACP cartridges. It is in excellent condition, with the nickel plating intact, and sharp markings. The action is strong and accurate, and the cylinder indexes and locks properly. The hinges tight, the extractor works as it should, and the bore is excellent and mirror bright with sharp rifling. The black hard rubber grips are excellent, showing no wear or fading. SN 4609, excellent overall.
History & Background
Philip Webley & Son began making top break, hinged revolvers as early as 1880, with the Charles Pryce patented design they acquired for use on their Webley-Pryce revolvers. Soon thereafter an improved locking mechanism by Michael Kaufmann produced the Webley-Kaufmann design, followed by Webley's own improved "Government" model, or "WG". It was not until 1887, when the British military hoped to replace the Enfield revolver that the first "Mark" revolver model was introduced. The Mk I was soon followed by the MkII (1894), then III (1897), and eventually as many as six variations were made, between 1887 and 1949. The Webley top break "Mark" revolvers were probably the single most widely used side arm in the world, and were still in service as late as the 1970’s.
