Webley as a maker and the Screw grip
11/12/09 02:09 PM

Gentlemen;

I’m trying to research something that I know people here can help me with. Here it is:

What was the relationship of Webley to the British gun manufacturers? From reading this forum I’m clear that Webley made firearms for some of them. But did Webley actually manufacture the bespoke guns or did they make non-custom guns that would go to a “showroom” somewhere? For instance, did Rigby take an order for a custom gun and just forward the order sheet to Webley?

I’ve referenced three books: “Classic Sporting Rifles” by Christopher Austyn, “The Big-Bore Rifle” by Michael Mcintosh, and “British Gunmakers” by Nigel Brown. In “British Gunmakers” there are eight different “Webleys" in the index! Which one was it?

I’m also interested in the “Webley Screw Grip”. I can find no reference to this. I’ve read about it a number of times here but can’t find anything.

I understand not wanting to type out a bunch of pages just to educate me, (but that’s fine!) Maybe just point me in the right direction.

Thanks all!

Armbar.
