The first semi-automatic pistol brought to market by Webley, the design of the Model 1905 would serve as the baseline for a long-produced line of pocket sized auto pistols. A number of features were present on the early 1905s that were eliminated during the production run including a diagonal machined flat on the right side of the slide where the extractor is mounted. The absence of a hammer mounted safety lever would indicate that this is a transitional model. Fixed blade and notch sights with an engraved Webley "winged bullet" and three-line address and caliber markings on the left side of the slide, Birmingham proofmarks, "1737" on the frame, a serrated ring hammer, checkered safety lever and checkered plastic grips.

Fine with 50% original blue finish displaying areas of edge wear, minor dings and surface scratches as well as some light spotting. Grips are fair with edge chipping and smoothed checkering. Mechanically fine.
