SOLD BRITISH WWII 1940 DATED, No2 MK1** ENFIELD SERVICE REVOLVER, VERY SHARP!

In 95% all matching very sharp condition, we have a very nice example of a 1940 dated BRITISH WWII No2 MK1** ENFIELD REVOLVER.  This was the standard British army side arm for WWII and it was issue to most officers.  This is the double action only hammerless variant that was the most common type of these revolvers.

The Enfield Revolver was a very sturdy and serviceable side arm but it suffered from a low powered cartridge.  Because of ammunition shortages during the war it was quite common if not universal to load these revolvers with 9 m/m Luger/Sten Gun ammunition, which it will easily chamber and shoot fine but certainly not safely!  While highly un-safe due to the much higher pressure of the 9mm cartridge it’s certainly more of a man-stopper loaded that way and that is exactly what it was made for.  No WWII collection should be without one of these revolvers.
