Antique Victorian-era large-bore British revolver .577
Other Revolver Firearms Handgun
“Victorian Manstopper.” They were typically made between about 1870–1885 by British maker Webley. These were massive handguns used by British officers in the late 1800s. They are extremely rare today.
Nickel or bright finish with good bore (hand grip area has some finish loss)
Large lanyard ring
Cased with cartridges ( case has a crack on the lid)
16 rounds included plus Brass included for reloading
mechanically complete
Typical Pryse-style latch and trigger layout
Has an anchor ⚓️ and chain marking below the cylinder on the left hand side.
The cartridge fired a 400–450 grain bullet around 700–725 fps, which was enormous handgun power for the time and gave it the nickname “Manstopper.”
They were produced in very small numbers (possibly under 100 in total across different makers), which is why collectors value them highly today.
I have more photographs that I can send and a video. Just text me your cell phone number and I can send out more.
