Scarce Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver

Manufactured in limited quantity (approximately 4,000 total, all variations), the Webley-Fosbery was meant as a counter-point to the early semi-automatic pistols then emerging on the market, providing the large-bore firepower and relative mechanical simplicity of a revolver with the smooth single-action operation of an automatic. While mechanically novel, the tide of history was on the side of the semi-autos, with Browning's designs in particular able to scratch the firepower itch. Patridge blade front sight and drift adjustable raised notch rear sight. Matching numbers on the barrel, cylinder and frame, "P. WEBLEY & SON. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM." on top of the rib, "WEBLEY-FOSBERY" on the left side of the top strap, the "flying bullet" trademark ahead of "455 CORDITE" on the left side of the frame, and "SAFE" in raised lettering on the left grip. Fitted with a lanyard ring.

ConditionFine, with 80% plus arsenal refurbished blue, showing patches of pitting on the barrel, mixed brown patina on the grip frame, bright edge wear, scattered spotting and mild handling marks. The replacement grips are very good, slightly ill-fitting around the butt with mild dents and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
