Description: | Enfield No 2 Mark 1 revolver. Wooden grips are applied to either side of the butt. A ring is fitted to the base of the butt. The frame is solid with the barrel and made entirely of steel. Fitted with a six chamber cylinder. Double action. The barrel is rifled and fitted with a blade foresight and a square notch rearsight. The calibre is 0.38in. The serial number 'A1923' is stamped on the revolver. The Enfield revolver was developed as a replacement for the Webley Mark VI in the 1920s. The original model had a hammer spur with both single and double action - the later No 2 Mark I* model had the hammer spur removed.
This firearm was acquired via the Firearms Amnesty of 1988. In event of disposal it must be either transferred (not given) to authorised museums, the Forensic Science Service, the MOD Pattern Room, the Royal Military College at Shrivenham. Otherwise it must be handed into the Metropolitan Police for destruction.
