It's here and Im loving it. Pic is attached.
Its marked "No 1, .455 cal or 450". The gun is replete with the old pre 1904 Birmingham proofs (looks like an X ), every cylinder flute has them and there are two on the barrel. The camera I have just wont macro enough to see them. The cylinder face has only a number: 24 plus an arrow. No Webley markings anywhere other than the stylized arrow.No Belgian proofs anywhere. The "24" does not match the serial number which is 40X. Bore is pristine. The nitre on the hammer and on other parts is awsome, Im giving it 70% overall.
How does that frame release latch work. Havent taken the cylinder out yet, the knob is tight
The box is excellent, going to try to get some more pics up tomorrow, got to sneak it in past SWMBO
Question...black powder or smokeless (Fiocchi)loads? And here I just bought a can of Goex...I could bring some .455 rounds to the shop tomorrow though
