Reviveng a Relic

Were parts available or did you have to make them? I've seen these guns but never had one apart.

Yes sir....It was tough though...Numrich had the stirrup but the screw was locked up, heat, soaking, nothing worked...My smith drilled it out, (tiny screw) and replaced it with a steel pin he peened...The sear he got from a Webley collector...It seems the parts I needed had been in use from 1880's through the 1920's on Webley's...

Love it! That's the great thing about "gun people", we'll pass a gun around for 5-10 years between shooting buddies and it'll end up in everybody's hand eventually! We all learn and get to play with them!

Keep it safe and I'll be back around again in a few years to buy it again....lol.

Thanks for finding her...She was a bucket list gun for me....I'd not feel unarmed packing her today....What a beast....I researched and in 1884 2 cops were killed in London..They had 9000 officers and 6800 voted to be armed...They are stamped "police" and numbered 1-900 and were issued to Scotland Yard..This one is "Police 642" (or close)....

I've got a 1956 Antique Gun Catalog advertising "Scotland Yard pistols for sale".....It looks like they got dumped over here in the 1950's....
