Webley Mark VII

[DunRanull]

I have something similar. It is an H&R in .38 S&W and it sports real pearl grips. Alas, it does not (reliably) function in single-action mode and I'm concerned about shooting smokeless powder in it these days, so it is a sits stuffed at the back of the gun cabinet. Due to its limited value, vintage, and the mechanical issue, I haven't sold it off. It has crossed my mind to include it in a box of parts to Numrich (I've done that several times over the years), but so far I have not. It is pretty to look at, I guess, but little else.

Nice lookin piece, it seems a shame to sell it to Numrich for parts, especially with those grips..
The only top-break I have is an I J .22 Super 8. Picked it up as a plinker revolver with 8 instead of 6....

Funny you mention it, because the wife saw the revolver out whilst I was taking the photos, and also thought I should have it repaired, rather than dump it. I had a local gunsmith look at it some years back, but he could not fix it. That doesn't mean it isn't fixable, of course, just that particular gentleman couldn't correct the issue.

Is this the Iver Johnson revolvers they made some decades back? It sounds interesting. Would you have a picture?
