Webley & Scott ID - Pre war?
Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2019 1:27 pm
Hello,
I have recently come into possession of a Webley & Scott Side by Side 12 Gauge. I am not greatly knowledgeable in these things, but I believe it is a sidelock?
All the information I can find about older Webleys are the old boxlock guns, except one similar one which was for sale: http://www.ospreyarms.com/product/pre-w ... ott-16-ga/
From looking at the serial number and comparing it to a list on http://doublegunshop.com/dgsnos5.htm
This would suggest it was built in 1905, which is surprising considering its condition.
Could anyone who is more knowledgable about these things take a look at the pictures attached, and see if any of this i have researched is true, and give me some more information on the gun if possible?
Many Thanks,
Jordan
