Marrakai,

I have Brown's book, and just a few days ago I checked it for both W&C Scott and Philip Webley when I - once again - started to figure out the actual maker of this Rodda that I have at hand (I don't own the gun, but it belongs to a friend of mine).

With my limited linquistic skills I couldn't really sort out the description on the company fusion written in the "Scott section". There are some abbreviations etc. that are sometimes a bit tricky to non-native speaker. I hope someone can help...

In the text on P. Webley Nigel says that "... [Webley] amalgamated with bus[iness] of W & C Scott & son & Richard Ellis & son q.v. to become Webley & Scott Revolver & Arms Co Ltd 1897, 81-91 Weaman St c.1897-1940 (also Prems at Slaney St & Lancaster St... "

I guess the year of fusion is then 1897. I actually thought that your crystal indicator Rodda is made after that.

Regards,
Saku
