SOLD BRITISH ARMY EARLY 1933 PRODUCTION ENFIELD No2 MkI .38/200 SERVICE REVOLVER, UN-ALTERED HAMMER & VERY SHARP!

In 96% very sharp non-import marked condition, with 2 kill marks notched into the grip,  we have a prime example of an early  production 1933 dated Enfield No2 MkI .38/200 Service Revolver.  This still has the hammer spur and is un-altered original condition.  As you know, most of these revolvers had the hammer spur bobbed in 1939-40 so finding an original example is not easy.  This one is all matching and the bore is mint.

The No2 MkI Revolver was the standard British Sidearm at the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939.  It was the revolver that was used during the Battle of France and in the Battle of Britain and the War in the Desert.   Most of these were later modified to No2 Mk1∗ configuration which removed the hammer spur and made them double action only.  Finding an un-altered example is not easy.  The Enfield Revolver was a very sturdy and serviceable side arm but it suffered from a low powered cartridge.  The original 200 grain loading is now being made by Steinel Ammunition. ,
