Quite a find. Really beautiful. Somehow, you seem to be able to pull this off at will Curl.

Hmmm. Webley A&W C 1st. Intercepting sears. If we can trust the serial number table, yeah, 1905. Assuming that date is correct, the Webley number on this one will be on the short rib (between the flats and the loop) instead of on the fore-end loop. My best guess is that it will be in the (400 Nitro wets index finger and holds into wind) 10,600 to 10,700 range.

Did Webley provide this gun to Gibbs complete, or did Gibbs stock and finish it? Hmmm. Well, the engraving pattern is definitely Webley's, not Gibb's. Many top grade Webley built DRs, retailed by various other makers, have the same pattern.
