I assume this was a matched part but have not found any other gun with similar matching (I do have a senior that has a batch number matching on the barrel catch) Third the same gun has the last three digits of the serial number, 368, stamped on the trigger guard on the flat surface at the front inside part where it fits into the main body of the gun. Second the same gun, ser no 19368, has a small IV stamped on the web under the grip next to the screw hole on both sides - does this indicate 'forth series' or some other information? Was it normal to have this many patents listed all my other guns only have a couple? The dates range from 1923 (Australia) to 1925 (Canada and USA). On the right hand side front are the following: Japan,Switzerland Australia, Spain, Italy and Germany in that order with numbers etc and on the left hand side Great Britain, Belgium, France, USA, and Canada in that order with details.
Can anyone give some background to the following markings on what I believe to be a fourth series pre war Webley.įirstly it has many patents/brevets listed.
