*◊ PROTOTYPE WEBLEY & SCOTT M1910 WITH SHOULDER STOCK.

SN 62640. Cal. .38. Rare Webley & Scott M1910 hammerless pistol with grip safety having 5″ bbl with fixed front and screw adjustable rear sight. Typical push button stripping spring catch and left sided slide release. Prototype lug added to bottom of left frame to secure shoulder stock, very similar as used for the .455 Mark I No.2. Orig magazine. Finely checkered wood grips with bordered checkering. Disassembly shows all matching numbers including grips (stamped 640). Complete with correctly dimensioned, unnumbered, reproduction stock and iron that secures to lug via a spring loaded detent. PROVENANCE: Ex Schroeder collection. Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Approx 50% orig blue with considerable fading on bbl, sides of slide and front & backstrap. Stained small parts, consistent with overall condition. Same considerations apply to the magazine and orig grips that retain much of their finish with scattered dings and checkered blunting. Dull bore with sharp rifling and perfect manual mechanics. Reproduction stock is virtually new, showing only a few tiny dings and minor wear on the iron where in contact with the lug. An extraordinarily scarce M1910 variation, the only one known to this reviewer. 4-52469 LMA81 (9,500-13,500) – Lot 1327
