The nerd in me is trying to pin down (as far as possible) the manufacturing dates of my two early Mk1 Webley pistols.
Serial numbers are 1192 (being renovated) and 1346 so both are second series, made not long after the spring clip was discontinued (pistols circa 700?).
They are marked "Patents Applied For" which was granted in August 24 so I guess they predate this. Manufacturing started "in 24" but not sure when. I'm guessing they will be hundred in about March 2024 :-)
Any advice from the experts here much appreciated.
