Rare, 1 of 350 Produced, Silver & Fletcher Patent ‘The Expert’ .450 Eley, Webley RIC Frame Self Ejecting 6 Shot Revolver, Belonging to Sir James Joicey JP, MP and Baron. **OLD SPEC DEACTIVATION ** Sn 45678 - D 9000
In 1884, High Silver and Walther Fletcher patented a system to rapidly unload a gate-style revolver. They negotiated an agreement to have their system integrated into the Webley .450” New Model RIC. Silver and Fletcher made approximately 350 of the patent revolvers and selling it mainly to the Royal Irish Constabulary and the Metropolitan London Police, under the name ‘The Expert’. The guns mechanism was designed to bypass the manual ejector rod to allow the cylinder full of empty cases to be ejected simply by pulling the trigger six times in rapid succession. To avoid the hammer striking a live round they also added a twisting lever safety on the hammer to retract the firing pin. This firing pin safety is much more visible than the ejection mechanism. The system could also be used to eject empty cases one by one as the gun was fired by leaving the loading gate open while firing. The Webley RIC revolvers made with the system are devoid of any Webley company markings, although they do have both a Webley serial number and a Silver & Fletcher number (between 1 and about 350). The gun carries the Webley serial number 84335 and has a number 2 on the right hand side of the trigger. This is a very rare to find double action pistol by S.W. Silver & Co and retains most of its original nickel plated finish. The top strap is engraved S.W. Silver & Co 29 OLD BOND ST CORNHILL LONDON. The top of the barrel is engraved SILVER & FLETCHER PATENT “THE EXPERT”. The pistol has a 4 ½ inch round barrel with a flat top and measures 10 inches overall. The hammer has a quarter turn rotary knob at the rear which retracts the firing pin and is engraved PATENT on the left hand side. The pistol is fitted with high quality chequered one piece mahogany grips and has a swivelling lanyard ring on the butt. The pistol has a bored out cylinder that holds 6 inert .45 cartridges and the barrel is partially blocked by a cross pin. The left hand side of the frame is engraved with the name Jas J Joicey. Sir James Joicey, 1st Baron Joicey JP DL (4 April 1846 to 21 November 1936) was an English industrialist, politician, and aristocrat known primarily for being a coal mining magnate from Durham and a Liberal Party Member of Parliament member of Parliament between 1885 and 1906. He was made a Baron in 1893 and knighted in 1906. The weapon was deactivated to UK specification and both the double action, hammer safety and ejecting mechanism work as they should. The 6 rounds of .455 Eley ammunition are included in the sale and no licence is required to own them in the U.K. if retained as part of a collection or display. The price includes the deactivation certificate and includes U.K delivery. Sn 45678

Jim Greathead of Clanville, England, made, U.S. Under hammer Percussion Boot Pistol as used by Gamblers in the mid 19th Centuary. (1 of 750 made) **UK 2018 DEACTIVATION CERTIFICATED** Sn - 22786
The American under hammer percussion boot pistol was a favourite of American Gamblers during the mid 19th Century. These were easily concealable, and the lack of a hammer on the top of the pistol, combined with the curved bag grip, made them very easy to remove without snagging on anything. This is a very unusual hand made under hammer single shot .400 inch caliber muzzle loading black powder pistol made by Jim Greathead who was renowned for his hand made under hammer muzzle loading pistols which were often used in modern pistol competition. Jim made around 750 handmade pistols during the 1990's and being hand made each one is a little bit different. This pistol is of a very simple design, measuring 13 inches in length with a 7 inch part octagonal cannon style barrel with a .400 inch bore. The pistol is fitted with a simple fore and rear sight. The lock design is quite simple, with just a spring loaded hammer and trigger, which serve as the tumbler and sear as well. There is no provision for a half-cock or any type of safety, just a notch on the hammer where the trigger locks into the pistol. The pistol is quite heavy and has a pair of wooden grips held with a single screw. The barrel and breech retain much of their original blued finish. The pistol cocks, deactivated in 2018. The price for this unusual pistol includes UK delivery and deactivation certificate. Sn 22786
