Studio Webley Mark IV "War Finish" .38 caliber revolver (serial # 148251)....

Description

Studio Webley Mark IV "War Finish" .38 caliber revolver (serial # 148251). The Webley is a top-break revolver with extractor, removing the cartridges from the cylinder. The demand was so great for the Mark IV during WWII that Webley did not have the time to finish the weapon properly, leaving grind marks, hence, wartime Mark IVs had "War Finish" stamped on the left side, as this example shows. Exhibits expected wear with some scuffing to hardware and factory black grips. If shipped within the U.S., shipping must be arranged through a federal firearms licensed dealer.
