Description

IN 98% ORIGINAL CONDITION, ALL MATCHING WITH AN EXCELLENT BORE, WE HAVE A VERY HARD TO FIND NO2 MK1 ENFIELD REVOLVER IN 38 S&W THAT IS RAF MARKED.  THERE ARE A LOT OF ENFIELD REVOLVERS FLOATING AROUND BUT VERY FEW THAT STILL HAVE THE HAMMER SPUR LET ALONE BEING RAF MARKED.  ALMOST ALL OF THESE WERE MADE DOUBLE ACTION ONLY WITH NO SPUR ON THE HAMMER.  ALMOST ALL OF THE VERY EARLY GUNS THAT HAD A SPUR HAD THEM REMOVED.  WE RARELY SEE ONE OF THESE THAT IS IN IT’S ORIGINAL CONDITION.   THIS IS AN EARLY RAF ISSUED GUN AND THIS IS PROBABLY THE REASON IT WAS NOT BUTCHERED.  OF COURSE AS YOU CAN WELL IMAGINE THIS GUN IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS CARRIED BY RAF FIGHTER PILOTS ON COMBAT MISSIONS, SO WHO KNOWS HOW MAY SPITFIRES OR HURRICANES THIS GUN HAS FLOWN IN BUT IT WAS CERTAINLY DOING ITS PART DURING THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN.  THAT ALONE SHOULD TELL YOU WHY THIS IS SUCH AN INTERESTING PIECE.
