Description

In 98% mint crisp condition, we have a mint new 1944 production British WWII Army Accepted  Webley and Scott Mark IV .38 /200 revolver Manufactured in 1944 and marked “War Finish”.  These wartime production Webley revolvers were procured By the British Armaments Ministry to augment production of the Enfield No. 2 revolvers and were widely issued in 1939-45.  Almost all of the early 1940-42 production of these revolvers were issued to the SOE, The French Resistance and the various underground forces in all of the Nazi occupied European countries.  They did not see significant British Military Service until 1944, because the SOE was taking most of the production.  It is interesting to note that it was not until 1945 that these Webley revolvers was even officially adopted as a service sidearm.
