Have been looking to acquire the widely recognised quintessential reference book on Webley Revolver, by Bruce & Reinhart, for yrs. Passed on it many times when it came out in the 80's because couldn't see paying $60 for a book. When my collection reached the 'advanced' level the previously accepted one by Dowell didn't cut it because all references seemed to cite B&R. By that time it had reached 150-200!! Today even finding a copy in a library is tough! Attempted to get one outta AL on loan but it had been stolen, so tried Smithsonian but they don't loan! Get this, prices @Amazon copies are $500-+2k!!!Trolled my heart out and finally found one on ebay discounted to under 250 and scored an 'as new' w/dust jacket one! Don't care if I do not even get a candy cane, my Christmas is complete!!
