Here is a site that is mostly pictures and there are many very interesting ones there, however for the purpose of the exercise :) go to British, thence Webley and way down the bottom are patent specs and drawings for the Webley-Fosbery.

Ah the Webley Foseberry! I always regret selling mine. I was young, impetuous, not really aware of what I posssessed and tempted by the filthy lucre.

It was a beauty to fire, the recoil, troque and feel of its action was thing unto itself.

Ho Hum! :cry:

I only ever fired one, Adam, and it was a mnt cased example that belonged to a friend of mine , now deceased, so I suppose/hope that it now resides in someones's collection. It was an impressive piece of machinery.
