Strange edit

I removed the following from the page, I think it was supposed to be here. I have no idea what it means:

"That is not thrugh. The ejector was a seperate rod. that was fastenet in the waist belt, and used to eject the spend shells. The Missing Link. (out of Denmark)"

If anyone feels like doing something with it, you are welcome. --Muhandes (talk) 15:50, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Barrel

So which model had the long barrel and which the short? Drutt (talk) 17:20, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The 1879 model had the long barrel and the 1883 model had the (shorter) 5-inch barrel. Cheese with Crackers (talk) 17:35, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Saftey catch

According to http://www.thegunzone.com/webley-fosbery.html, paragraph 4 and 5, this gun not only has a punch-rod extractor (presumably on the right side, to punch out empties through the loading gate), but is one of only four revolvers in history to have a safety catch designed and fitted by the maker. I want to add this info correctly, but the cite system is damned confusing. 100.4.62.213 (talk) 20:14, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
