Back in the day when they made only revolvers (around the time of their break through model, the Royal Irish Constabulary double action) Philip Webley used commonly to begin his number sequences with an unnecessarily high number to suggest he was making more pistols than he actually did. Clearly a traditional gun quarter practice!
