Lancashire Fusilier Posted 10 April , 2012 Share Posted 10 April , 2012 Would someone be so kind as to supply me some 'titles' that give a good history of Webley cartridge revolvers as well as photographs. khaki khaki, 3 great Webley reference books are :- The Webley Story - by William Chipchase Dowell. Webley Revolvers - by Gordon Bruce & Christian Reinhart. and if you like Webley Automatic Pistols - Webley & Scott Automatic Pistols by Gordon Bruce. I have all 3 books, they have lots of great information and photographs. Regards, LF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 10 April , 2012 Author Share Posted 10 April , 2012 Hello LF Thanks for you reply, do you know the availability of those titles khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashire Fusilier Posted 10 April , 2012 Share Posted 10 April , 2012 Hello LF Thanks for you reply, do you know the availability of those titles khaki All 3 are generally available, can be a little hard to find, and are not cheap. I found a good buy on Amazon UK, they are currently listing a copy of The Webley Story by W. C. Dowell - Hardbound in NEW condition - GBP 65. There are currently 2 others on Ebay for GBP 150 each ! I will check on the other titles, and get back to you. Regards, LF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 10 April , 2012 Author Share Posted 10 April , 2012 Hi again LF, I thought I would do a little checking as well, I found a "Webley Story" available for about 25% more than the cost of a genuine MkV or MkV1, I think I will pass that one by. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A later revised edition of Dowell's " The Webley Story ", basically the same book for a fraction of the price, is available on Amazon for GBP65.
