Webley Mark IV's

[Incitatus]

I had always wanted a classic Brit top break revolver so I didn't hesitate long when I got an email from Century Arms.

Pictures are below.  Really nice condition.  I guess that they might have been refinished but the stamping looks really sharp so I am not sure.  They look pretty newish to me.

In any event, I'll be trying them out tomorrow.

BTW they are .38 S&W and cost $258 each delivered.

Nice and nice price,  They look like a couple of the post war versions that have a safety added to them.  I have a WWII era Webley that I have just started to play with.  Mine does have a habit of piercing primers most of the time which I attribute to the need for it to fire no matter how many times you might have crawled through the mud with it.

Here's a link to a site that will give you the approximate mfg date (the MK IV was made up until 1982):

Thanks for the info, Brian.

The pistol makes me think of Zulu.

The bores look new.  Remarkable buy, IMO.

Well, like a fool I came across one at the gunshow 2 weekends ago.
A guy was walking around with one in perfect condition....wanted $175....told him I'd think about it and track him down....he said so I wouldn't have to track him down he'd take $150!

It was WWII marked "Wartime Finish"

I wanted to buy a rifle (wound up with a Marlin 883 with 3x9x32 scope in .22 mag)

Told him I'd still have to think about it...15 minutes later I tried to find him but couldn't.

A little later on, I saw the gun one someones table....he marked it up to $375.
I should of bought it and put it on GunBroker, but only had so much money with me...

Incitaus, Guess Harry never heard of Sig. Seems the Swiss don't export things that can be use aginst them . They invent them just not export them .
