		As the frame-mounted spring returns the receiver forward into battery, the cam pin forces the cylinder to revolve the rest of the way, and the weapon is ready to fire its next shot.
		Revolver is very tight mechanically, bluing is very shiny and original but has been flecking over the years and is spotty/speckled throughout, with shiny spots, as can be seen in the photo; lanyard is in place and in good condition.

		It is a competition revolver, with a heavy Douglas barrel, with square-notch rear sights and a ramp front sight, milled into the barrel with protective ribs.
		The resulting weapon, the No 2 Pistol Revolver, was an improvement of sorts; however, its trigger pull is so long and creepy that the desired increase in accuracy among amateurs was never really achieved; and, though four different rounds were tried in the weapon, none of them ever really satisfied the British.
		It introduced a number of improvements which later became standard on other Webley revolvers, and it was widely sold to British officers and travelers going to the wilder parts of the kingdom.

	Webley Fosbery Automatic Revolver Caliber .455(UK)
		When the receiver is moved rearward in its frame -- by the recoil of a just-fired cartridge, for instance -- a cam pin fixed in the frame rides in zig-zag slots in the outer surface of the pistol's cylinder, and the cylinder is revolved half-way toward the next chamber.
		As the frame-mounted spring returns the receiver forward into battery, the cam pin forces the cylinder to revolve the rest of the way, and the weapon is ready to fire its next shot.
		Thus the Webley-Fosbery "Automatic Revolver" is meant to be loaded, push-cocked, and then carried at full cock, ready to fire.
