Another Webley
I've been reading the Webley thread - an interesting revolver on my short list - and one I could afford.
There is a facinating variant though: The Webley-Fosbery.
This is a semi-automatic revolver. On recoil the entire upper half slides back rotating the cylinder on a cam. I understand it was popular with target shooters at the turn of the century.
I have only seen seen one for sale at Simpson for $9995, and I expect they are quite rare. It's on my short list for after I win the lottery.
It also has some movie fame, being used in The Maltese Falcon, and in Zardoz.
Cheers,
