Anybody know if P. Webley ever produced military rifles for France or made conversions of French military actions?
Recently saw a single shot bolt action rifle with Webley markings that appeared to be either a Chassepot rifle or a conversion of a Chassepot to 11mm Gras. Didn't get a good look but the owner wanted to know if it was an original product of P. Webley, or something they had made on a French action and marked with their name. Bad condition; found in the woods on a bear hunt in Canada.
Any info for him greatly appreciated.
