Webley Scott .455 1913 MK1 Navy Automatic

Post by varifleman » Thu May 09, 2013 8:54 am

Here for your viewing pleasure is my Webley-Scott .455 Model 1913 MK1 N Navy pistol serial number 3800 which was accepted into service in 1914. Also shown is a 7-pack of .455 Webley Self-loading ammo dated January 30, 1919. I found on-line an interesting article "The .455 Webley & Scott Pistol" (American Rifleman 1964) which has a chart which details both Government Contracts and Private sales deliveries by month/year/serial number. This pistol (serial number 3800) was 1 of 1919 (serial numbers 3691-5609) delivered to the Royal Navy in December 1914. It served through most of WWI.
