Sn 22528 - 22528 The famous British Parker-Hale Limited began manufacturing high quality precision shooting accessories in the heart of the gun-making quarter in the year 1880. The founder, A.G. Parker, was a well-known rifleman of the 1st Battalion Royal Warwickshire Regiment and recognised the need for the supply of shooting aids to his fellow shooters. By 1914 the company's small manufacturing plant was well established and it was not long before the vigorous Ministry of Munitions of those days began calling for training equipment, which was needed almost as desperately as the munitions. The Parkerifling process, coupled with the Hiscock-Parker magazine, enabled service weapons to be converted to .22 calibre for teaching recruits to shoot, and demand was such that the Parker-Hale factory was soon working to full capacity. This is an original World War 1 dated British WD Officer's MK VI .455 calibre Service Revolver officially Parker Hale Ltd Converted To .22 Calibre Training Pistol. It is serial number 189936 / 936 which is stamped on the barrel, frame & cylinder. On the right side of the frame it is crisply stamped 'Webley Mark VI Patents' and dated ‘1916’. It has WD proof / inspection marks on its frame and ‘Mark VI’ designation. The cylinder has proofs and is marked Parker Hale. The top of the barrel is marked ‘Converted By Parker Hale Birmingham’ & the muzzle rim 'Parkerifled AGP'. The pistol has its original finely chequered Bakelite grips and Lanyard ring. The pistol breaks open for loading, its barrel is slotted & blocked. The cylinders are open and will accept inert rounds. The pistol’s trigger moves and rotates the cylinder, the hammer moves. The price for this very rare WW1 dated deactivated British service revolver officially period Parker Hale converted to Officer training pistol includes deactivation certificate and UK delivery.
