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 and notch rear sights, with matching numbers on the barrel and frame, and "WEBLEY-FOSBERY" on the left side of the top strap. The left frame side plate bears the "flying bullet" trademark ahead of "455 CORDITE", with "SAFE" in raised letters on the left grip panel. Fitted with a lanyard ring. The right side of the barrel is engraved "FREDERICK H. ROBINSON 45 ACP", and the rear cylinder face has been "shaved" for half-moon clips, with over 40 steel clips included.
