Useful historical guide.
This is a handy guide to this famous family of service revolvers. To say the content is compelling is to overstate things but it is well written and produced. A slim volume with only 80 pages, it nontheless contains a wealth of useful information and a healthy number of high quality photographs of weapons and accessories, some of which I have never seen before, that are in the author's posession. The book gives a brief outline of handguns in the government service prior to the introduction of the metallic cartridge and then a fuller exploration of the history of the famous family of Webley hinge frame revolvers, from the .455 Mks I to VI and their variants, to the .38 MkIV of the Second World War and was the last of the service revolvers lasting through to the introduction of the 9mm Browning HiPower as the service sidearm in the 1960s. Though my current interest is in 19th century English percussion revolvers, no enthusiast could fail to appreciate the classic lines of the Webley. I could have done without the comic book style illustrations of webleys in use and the incogruous still from the film "Zulu" which shows Capt Chard wielding a Webley Mk VI at Rorke's Drift in 1879 some 35 years before the were first made. At least it wasn't a Colt 45... As it implies in the text though, the Webleys' uncompromising design makes them the film makers' "go to" weapons for such roles.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
