My first pistol was a Webley.....38 S&W...marked on the side WAR FINISH...my dad bought it out of the back of a magazine....for $14.00...and that included a holster and 20 Bullets ....and I also faintly remember the Lewis Machine Guns were offered for about $45.00.........this was early 50s ........my first Luger..1918 DWM was $40.00.....they wanted $60 for the Navys and $100 for the Artillery models.....prices were sooooo high

....but now i think I want an old Enfield Revolver.......something else on my want list...MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS....TO THE BEST SITE ON THE INTERNET........Danke ..Hans Fischer

I have a Mk.VI 1918 in the original .455 although it was refinished at some point. It is quite ungainly but shoots like a dream, not much recoil compared to a .45 Rimfire S&W Model 29 I have.

I would like to point out to anyone who is interested that there is a guy on ebay selling repro lanyard rings. I just ordered one after years of searching, and the price is very decent....

ebay item# 251405257250

Also have a .380 Webley Mk.IV I used to reload. Mild recoil, very accurate, and feels much more ergonomic than the .455, but I still prefer the big one... there's just something about it...
