One of nearly 1,400 manufactured by Webley & Scott, the Model 1911 was designed as a training counterpart to the .32 Metropolitan Police Automatic. In ergonomics very similar to the police pistol, the 1911 uses a straight blowback auto-ejecting action, being reloaded by hand. Sold chiefly to police forces in the Commonwealth, few bear the slide marking "MADE IN ENGLAND" placed on handguns destined for the United States such as this example. It has the early tempered blue finish, a frame slotted for a stock and British proofs. The pistol falls into a serial number range (130770-130799) of 30 units manufactured in October 1919.

Very fine. The pistol retains 85% plus bright original high polish blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The grips are also very fine with crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
