The Certus in the picture is in fact the standard pistol with the Target version having a longer barrel. These pistols are among the quirkier designs and look to have had various parts randomly added as their development progressed. I believe production ceased due to the threat of infringement of the Webley patent which apparently did include the cocking of the pistol in the opposite direction to the Mk1 even though considered impractical.Originally Posted by Michael
Associated advertising from the period also suggested that a removable stock was available, but as far as I’m aware none have ever been discovered to actually verify this was the case. The A.G. Parker Crank Wound pistol also included in John’s pictures is if anything a little bit quirkier but nevertheless fascinating pistols on offer at the Kempton show.
