Famous throughout the nineteenth century for the quality of its products, the English revolver industry began a steady decline after World War I from which it never recovered. Apart from the famous Webley service revolvers, many products of this important industry are little known outside of the auction house and sales room.

• Smaller English Revolver Manufacturers
• Adams and Beaumont-Adams Revolvers
• Tranter Revolvers
