Yes I know it's a very pricey antique and I know that it failed miserably in the early days of World War One, but geez I wish I could find one. It's just so Victorian, but also futuristic. What's that genre in Science Fiction called? It's like Cyber Punk - okay I remember, it's called Steam Punk. The W-F is the perfect Steam Punk revolver.
I have to confess to having a weakness for the older British military firearms. I'm especially fond of the Lee-Enfield rifles and the Webley revolvers. I own a Webley Mk VI and a couple Lee-Enfield rifles. Though they might be old they're some of my favorites. Other guns have come and gone through my hands, but the British pieces stay.
Anyone here own a W-F? Anyone ever fired a W-F? Anyone ever fired the American replicas/rip-offs in the 32 caliber? Anyone?
Well anyway here are a couple photos I found on the Net. They each sold a few months ago for thousands of dollars. If anyone is familiar with the James D. Julia auction house then you will not be suprised at the prices. That auction house does business with the well heeled gun collector. However I like to go to their web site and drool. Check them out if you've never seen their site.It's like going to the Holland & Holland website. You can look all you want.
