I agree with historic bore... after market/replacement engraving. It just doesn't look correct.
K???????? B??????? Potential owners initials/name!
I have handled a lot of 700's and have never seen serial number suffix/prefix.
Just my thoughts. Regards Mr w martin
The wear on the tang is consistent with the rest of the gun, and the rest of the engraving on tbe trigger guard and tang is the same as the other model 700 I have on hand...I don’t think it's aftermarket/ replacement.
I accept that the tang may be original, but I would be amazed if the gun left the Webley factory with the KB engraved.I cannot offer any other idea and look forward to the true explanation. Richard Gallyon ( no longer connected with Gallyon Guns)has the records and I've always found him extremely helpful.
I really like Webleys , although I feel they are not the most pleasant guns you shoot.
