The history of Webley & Scott
One of the great attributes of Webley & Scott is their deep history as a gun manufacturer. It is one of the oldest names in the firearms industry. They are responsible for over two centuries of production of some of the most famous firearms the world has ever seen – the Webley revolver, shotguns, and Webley rifles. Webley was founded in the year 1790 by William Davies who originally made bullet moulds. In 1834 the company was taken over by his son-in-law, Phillip Webley, and his brother James who began the production of percussion sporting guns. Two sons, Thomas and Henry entered the family business during the 1860s. The Webleys manufactured several types of pistols over the subsequent years, including single and double action percussion revolvers as well as pin-fire and center-fire revolvers. This history of quality, craftsmanship and tradition continues today. Check out these great firearms at www.webleyandscott.com. You will not be disappointed!
