I have always had a thing for a Webley Fosbery revolver ever since seeing "Zardoz" and "The Maltese Falcon".. I have come close a couple times but never pulled the trigger...

I got close, a 1966 year made one owner 28-2 in the box with the sales receipt. Should be here today....

The Webley Fosbery always reminds me of the old joke, "Why does a dog lick his unmentionables?"
"Because he can ."

Not great pics, but tolerable. The one from '66 (right) is actually the worse looking of the two I bought. The '73 one is even prettier than it is, and it was clean.The '66 will get a look over and total cleaning on Sunday...Notice the grip on the right gun compared to the one on the left, not nearly as nice. I paid a lot more for the older gun, which came in the original box with all the stuff in it.
Only flaw on the '73 seems to be a little peen on the ejector star. Someone playing "detective" and slamming it shut?
Doesn't seem to affect anything. I can't tell when that ratchet pad/tooth is engaged with the hand all hammer pullbacks feel the same. The hand has zero wear on it, BTW.
I decided to live my dream about ten years ago and bought my first Korth after having shot a few in the 30 years preceding the purchase. In the meantime my Korth collection grew to well over one dozen and I now wonder why I wasted 30 years before I bought my first own Korth. Among all my revolvers, however, it is not a .357 Magnum Korth that I like the most but a 1969 vintage Korth Sport in .22 l.r., the Korth that started it all for me.
That doesn't mean, that I do not like my S&W revolvers anymore. The rare Raymond Sassia model 19-3 version with the three inch barrel is definitely a great gun.
...and in single action the 1952 vintage K-22 can shoot side-by-side with any gun, matching the mechanical accuracy of my Hammerlis.
Life is too short to just dream, life is for living the dream!

Where do you get all those left handed S&Ws? (Look at the pictures and note the guns that have no cylinder latches on the left side.)

Then there should be a cylinder latch in front of the cylinder -- but there are no latches at all.

Aren't you talking about the Korth post?
Many Korths have the release beside and parallel to the hammer. Look for the rounded knob beside the hammer in the photos.
Also found at the end of the ejector rods on some.

Korth cylinder latch is right next to the hammer. It is only really visible in one of the pictures above.

Easy, my dream gun is a gun I once had and sold. A S&W M-60 (no dash) made in the mid 70's and at a price I can afford!
Todd,
Willi Korth had his revolver lockwork completed in 1969, it included the roller for the double action, from the outside adjustable rebound spring, short shroud on the ejector rod housing, and the cylinder release was moved to the upper right side of the frame. Before 1969, the cylinder release was doing double duty as ejector rod.

That would be a 940, they came with both 2 and 3 inch barrels

My local Cabelas recently had three no dash 60's for $329 each. I took one home, and paid even less with the military discount.
