Webley Bentley Style120 Bore Rimfire Pocket Revolver
This is a Bentley pattern rim fire revolver in approximately 120 bore. The carving of the grips would seem to be indicative of Belgian Manufacure but it does not have Liege proofs but Birmingham view marks- Curious! The revolver is double action only and cocks and index's fine with a decent bore and nice grips.
At some time the last 1/16" tip of the firing pin has been chipped off but this is the only real detrimental observation I can make.
All in all it looks an attractive little revolver with the finish faded down nicely with no surface rust or pitting. This really is a transitional piece and could even have been a percussion conversion.
There were thousands of Bentley style revolvers made in this period but unfortunately many did not survive.
