Manufactured in limited quantity (approximately 4,000 total, all variations), the Webley-Fosbery was meant as a counter-point to the early semi-automatic pistols then emerging on the market, providing the large-bore firepower and relative mechanical simplicity of a revolver with the smooth single-action operation of an automatic. While mechanically novel, the tide of history was on the side of the semi-autos, with Browning's designs in particular able to scratch the firepower itch. Patridge blade front sight and drift adjustable raised notch rear sight. Matching numbers on the barrel, cylinder and frame, "P. WEBLEY & SON LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM" on top of the rib, "WEBLEY-FOSBERY" on the left side of the top strap, the "flying bullet" trademark ahead of "455 CORDITE" on the left side of the frame, and a metal "SAFE" panel inlaid into the left grip. Fitted with a lanyard ring. Two medals are included, one WWI Allied Victory Medal and a 1914-1918 British War Medal; both are inscribed on the rim to a Private J. Dusek of the Royal Fusiliers, though no additional information is available on Dusek.
