SN 3820. Cal. .455. Very scarce Webley Fosbery M1903, blued, with small cyl & frame, smooth trigger, with usual self-cocking mechanism/zig-zag cyl, having a 4″ bbl, with fixed front & rear sights. Levered top break release. Bbl rib marked “P. WEBLEY & SON. LONDON & BIRMINGHAM.” Left side of top strap is marked “WEBLEY FOSBERY”; left side of frame has the Webley flying bullet logo followed by “.455 CORDITE”. SN is on the right side of the frame & repeated under the bbl & on back of cyl. Crown/BP & Crown/BV proofing on cyl & bbl. Mounted on left side of frame is a thumb safety that, when engaged in the “up” position, exposes the word “SAFE” that has been molded into the left grip panel. At the base of the frame is a rotatable lanyard ring. Fitted with orig, dark brown & checkered, hard rubber 2-pc grips. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Approx 98% factory refinish, perfect brushed blue tonality. The only way to discern is by looking at the very fine pitting under the blue on each side of the frame and few small areas on cyl. Small parts, usually blackened, with the same brushed blue finish. Crisp orig grips with few superficial handling marks. Mirror bore. Perfect manual mechanics. One of very, very few short bbl revolvers Webley Fosberys to leave the company, a real find for the Webley Fosbery collector. 43475-312 LMA (10,000-15,000) – Lot 3635
