(A) YORK HOUSE RETAILED WEBLEY "WG" ARMY MODEL DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER.

(A) YORK HOUSE RETAILED WEBLEY "WG" ARMY MODEL DOUBLE ACTION REVOLVER. These workhorse revolvers were quite popular with British military officers from their introduction through the first quarter of the 20th Century, with many remaining in use right through the era of the Great War. This is exactly the type of revolver that a British officer might have carried during the Boxer Rebellion in China, the Second Boer War in South Africa, and, of course, World War I. This example was produced in 1895 and has a scarce factory nickel finish. Checkered walnut grips with lanyard loop mounted on the butt. The top of the barrel rib is marked " York House, Regent street, London" indicating who retailed the revolver as these were privately purchased firearms by British military officers. CONDITION: The nickel finish is nearly complete and intact. There is a bit of loss on the grip strap edges, and minor handling dings and scratches. The bore is very good and the mechanics are excellent.Name Value Barrel Length 6" Caliber/Bore .455/476 FFL Status Antique Manufacturer Webley & Scott Model WG Army Serial Number 9839, Name, Value, Barrel Length, 6", Caliber/Bore, .455/476, FFL Status, Antique, Manufacturer, Webley & Scott, Model, WG Army, Serial Number, 9839
