Description:

Only about 4,000 of these revolvers were made in all variations. The Model 1902 is easily recognized from the earlier revolvers by the removable side plates on both sides of the frame. Marked "WEBLEY-FOSBERY" on the left side of the top strap and "ARMY & NAVY C.S.L" on top of the barrel rib, for the Army & Navy Cooperative Store of London. Patridge blade front sight and notch rear sight. The flying bullet trademark appears on the left side of the frame just in front of ".455 CORDITE". Birmingham proofs on several parts and between the chambers on the unfluted "zigzag" cylinder. The sides of the hammer are checkered as well as the spur. The safety lever on the left side of the frame pulls the sliding mechanism to the rear when it is raised, exposing "SAFE" in raised letters on the grip. Full blue finish, with checkered walnut grips and a lanyard ring on the butt.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, with approximately 75% plus of the original blue finish, showing a mixed brown and gray patina on the barrel and grip straps, scattered spotting, and mild edge wear and handling marks. Grips are excellent, with mild handling marks. Mechanism functions fine needs work as the hammer does not stay back at full cock.
