There's a picture of a Webley Screw grip gun on page 9...use the zoom tool to check it out.


No Webley guns on either page, nor any screw grips.

Check out the third fastener on the W & C Scott on page 19..picture 196


No screw grips. Greener cross bolt and a Jones UL.

On page 24 on one of Scotts cheaper hammer guns there appears to be a dolls head with a screw grip.


Falling block single shot on that page. If whatever page you're looking at has a Scott hammergun, it won't have a screw grip. Scott didn't use them.

One thing I am sure of those Evans originally posted were not common screw gripped actioned back locks.


Actually, they are. Those Evans are Webley W & R 1st models illustrated on the bottom half of page 20.

You've really gotten confused somehow, which isn't hard with the Scott/Webley guns after the merger. The screw grips were Webley's invention, not Scott's, and Scott guns didn't use them. After the merger in 1897, the W & C Scott and P. Webley lines were kept distinct right up until the Scott line was discontinued in the 1930s. Look at the catalogue. The Scott guns appear under "W & C Scott & Son's Specialties" and the guns were marked "W & C Scott & Son". Webley's line appears under "Webley & Scott Ltd." after the merger, and were usually marked "Webley & Scott". That's the easiest way to distinguish the Webley from the Scott models. The screw grips were only used in Webley's line, never Scott's.
