This is one of approximately 439 Model 1913 pistols Webley & Scott manufactured for use by the Royal Horse Artillery. Some of these pistols found their way to the Royal Flying Corps to be used for aerial combat prior to the fitting of machine guns to the airplanes. These pistols were built with a rotary rear sight, hammer safety and stock slot, all features found on this example. The left side of the slide has the Webley & Scott winged bullet logo and Mark I No. 2 legend which is dated "1915." British proofs appear on various parts. The pistol has the early tempered blue finish, and falls into a British government contract serial number range (6314-6427) for 114 Royal Horse Artillery models manufactured from September 1915 to January 1916.

Fine. The pistol retains 40% plus original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The grips are also fine with some minor handling marks and some blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
