Webley Pistol Serial Number Ranges

[jimmy9fingers1]

Hi All,

 

Does anyone know of any online resource or more likely literature, that can match dates to the serial number ranges of the Webley service revolvers.

 

I recently encountered a military marked mk iv .455 with no manufacture or issue date present, (I believe they were made until 1912 ish and used in WW1 even though they are referred to as the Boer War Model. 

 

Also it would be good to understand the serial number ranges for the later mk iv .38, although obviously this gun is nothing to do with ww1 

 

Thanks,

 

Jim

Basic WWII .38 MkIV serial number ranges by year are listed here:

Probably a good place to ask about earlier guns as well.

Thanks, I can see my webley mk iv .38 serial number in the 108,000 range was made in 1943, according to their parameters for that number range. Can't see anything on guns of ww1 vintage or older. Maybe me though as I'm not v. computer literate.

I meant you'd need to enquire with them. I believe there's a fee for this.
