Though to many the Wesley Richards is a bit odd looking, it is good to see it next to the Webley pistol it was trying to imitate. Unfortunately my example is the smaller shorter barrel WW2 .38 cal. Webley, but it will demonstrate nicely the break barrel, latch, and similar grips on both pistols.

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

Looks excellent and shows how much better made everything was in the old days. Those old time workers really knew how to cut metal.
I'm happy with mine
looks very nice

Wow for a moment I thought that the .38 cal is the Co2 one that Webley does now. Nice looking replicas they make.Originally Posted by 45flint

Wesley Richards is just too good looking. Such an incredible condition. Is it original?

That one was refinished and reblued. Did a great job.
