PHILIP WEBLEY,
84, WEAMAN STREET, BIRMINGHAM,
_PRESENT CONTRACTOR TO THE HON. BOARD OF ORDNANCE_,
PATENTEE OF SAFETY REVOLVING PISTOLS.
[Illustration]
P. WEBLEY respectfully informs the public, that he is prepared to supply
in any quantity his
PATENT REVOLVING PISTOLS,
which he can confidently recommend, as they embrace all latest
improvements with the greatest possible simplicity of construction, and
are pronounced by men of experience, both civil and military, to be most
efficient weapons.
The action is very similar to the ordinary gun lock; the thumb being
used to bring the hammer to cock, while the arm is extended; the chamber
at the same time revolving and firmly locked at the moment of discharge,
by a spring underneath, thus obviating the objection to other Patent
Pistols, which are self-acting.
(Large size 48, middle 60, small 120 bores).
P. W. also manufactures Officers’ Double, Under and Over, Breast and
Single Pistols.
P. W. particularly invites attention to his Under and Over Pistols,
which are rifled and made to suit the present Government size cartridge.
P. W. also manufactures every description of Revolving, Saloon, Holster,
Pocket, Inlaid and Fancy Pistols.
