Gentlemen I need help I am looking at some Enfield pistols and I see some different models
1 if they look to be very clean and the stocks are in good shape what are they worth? 2. what is a Abalone pistol I understand it was made by a car maker for only a year or 2 what are they worth . Thank you for any tips or suggestions

I had a 1943 No2Mk1 that I purchased for $450.00.
Sold it 2 years later for $450.00.

thats a good value for the enfield no2 revolvers without seeing or handling it , ive seen some id not give $50 for and others id gladly give $500 for , condition is everything ,
there were three basic versions , the mkI [has the hammer spur-SA/DA ] , the mkI* [no hammer spur SA/DA ] , the mkI** [no hammer spur - SA only] , and there was the webley no2 mkIV revolver , these were all in 380 cal , the no1 revolvers were webley 455s in mkI thru mkVI , there was also an enfield no1 mkVI - just for the record , there were 5 different grip scale variants , mkI checkered walnut 1927-1934 , mkI reeded walnut 1935-1938 , mkII reeded walnut thumbrest with brass marking disc 1938-1942 , mkII reeded walnut thumbrest no disc 1942 , and the mkIII bakelite thumbrest with brass marking disc 1942-1945 , there is info in stamps/skennertons book on what prefix fits where to help you be certain the right ones are on your dated revolver where there is overlap , the enfields were all marked with the date of manufacture as well as the mark number on the right side above the trigger but some had a lot some a little info there , the albion and HAK revolvers' are very clearly marked as such there , the webleys are marked "war finnish" to note that they deviated from their standard 'better' finish to expedite for the war effort , now - the albion revolver was the one made in scotland and you cant buy mine for less than $750 , the HAK was made in austrailia and there were only about $350 made so ill not even hazard a guess on one of those ...except to say i could have bought one for about $300 once but some jacka$$ cut the barrel to 2" and destroyed a priceless collector piece , be certain to do your research before you buy , |

Every time I see a photo of that gun cabinet, I get a little green with envy. It's a ripper.

Lately I have a hankering to have a Mk V or Mk VI webley ...but I found pricing starting at $1300 to way on up for an average pistol with intact cylinder. Many years ago I had a MkI and a MkVI and loved shooting and reloading for them, but as interests changed I traded those nice matching pieces off. Its kindly insane now.

isnt that the truth , i sold way too soon to reap such rewards , i still have a couple of mine and gifted a couple to close friends that collect ,
that cabinet is long gone now and most of what you see is as well - gone to better homes i trust ,

Our current laws are driving the price of these or any for that matter to the moon. Antique status is all Joe average can buy now. 2-$4grand some even higher.
