Webley
literature: The Webley Story by William
Chipchase Dowell
in Dowell's book are small Webley made revolvers pictured like this one, and one can assume, it is also Webley made. No visible maker's name or numbers, just Birmingham proof as common for Webley made weapon's. On the cylinder is the inscription CALIBER .230 CENTER FIRE. The small revolver is kept in the white, 1
⅞" round barrel with front sight and notched rear sight on breech, plain wooden grips, folding trigger, screw-in ejector rod, in excellent condition.
