Photo of a photo of a Webley-Fosbery.

also made a 'traditional model' firing from the bottom chamber, not a semi-auto model. That one might interest me though... it also had Dan Wesson-style interchangeable barrels, and apparently was quite well-made. But I think the company already belongs to the past...

I've only ever handled a W-F once, at an arms fair, unfortunately, at the time I didn't have the right licence, I couldn't afford it if I did have the licence - I'd just got a mortgage (and I didn't have a Granny to sell. :) .)
