Webley Mk IV 5/16/13

From: Steerpike

Great article, but the pedant in me feels I ought to point out that the gun was still manufactured after 1923, albeit not by Webley; mine was made at Enfield Lock in 1926 and marked as such, though I gather numbers made at that particular arsenal were in the low thousands.

I have just been given an old side by side shotgun with Webley & Scott Ltd marked on it with the numbers 73606 on all parts, it has been locked in a cupboard for years but still works not that i would like to fire it in this condition.
It has double hammers & the barrels are released by a lever between the hammers the same as a modern shotgun the barrels are quite rusty but still restoreable the stock is in good order but could do wth a clean & repolishing
I would be greatfull for any information you could give me on the age & history

Mark I/IV Tanks  5/7/13

From: Allen Laboon

Well, of course the Abrams would look ancient in 100 years. Everything from the armor materials, to the ammunition, and even the support structures will probably have taken a giant leap by then.

HMS Tiptoe, where are you now? 5/6/13

From: Henry Wood

I believe HMS Tiptoe's anchor is part of a submarine commemoration at Blyth, Northumberland. (Blyth was a submarine base during both World Wars.)

British Shermuily line throwing gun at auction 4/3/13

From: J Beusch

An interesting amount of partial useful information.
I'm since a few years looking for a mini Gatling or Hotchkiss cannon. The later one was made by an English dealer,
his shop was called Marine Pistols or so.can't locate him anymore. His Replica looked neat and the price was ok,
but my budget was suffering from stress, just bought a Webley Collection at that time. And the gun was in Switzerland
classed as a Machinegun. Now I have the Licence to own fully automatic firearms.
Reloading Information I can mail if somebody needs it.

Webley Mk VI  4/18/13

From: John

I recently purchased a Mk VI. But it hasent got the typical manufacturers stamping on the left side of thframe below the cylinder (military or winged bullet) or the Enfield stamp on the right side of the frame above the trigger that I normally expect. It has no import marks, ENGLAND stamp or TONS proof either. It is named a MK VI on the top strap, and has a broad arrow, as well as multiple small proofs. Lastly it looks to be unit marked on the rear grip strap near the top (IACC) Any thoughts?

Mark I/IV Tanks  4/5/13

From: Anthony Bordeaux

They're definitely not much compared to today's armored monsters, but they sure were effective enough in their day. In fact, without them, there would probably be no Abrams, Challenger, or Leopard tanks today.

From: Martin Micheals

"Scout car" is definitely right. This little fighter may be armored, but there's no way it could take the pounding something like a tank could.

Vicker's Gunbus 3/17/13

From: Bill Walsh

The photograph above (captioned: Gnome Rotary from www.aviation-history.com) is in fact a LeRhone Rotary. This is a contemporary of the Gnome but the "plumbing" is different. A good recognition feature of the 100h.p. Gnome is the single push rod in front of each cylinder. The brass pipework between the cylinders in this photograph show it to be a LeRhone Engine.
