A well-marked Enfield No2 Mk1*. It has matching numbers and bears broad arrow acceptance stamps. Serial number ZB7113 marked on the cylinder and twice on the frame. On the right side of the frame, is the wartime manufacture stamp “ED*”. The D actually combines an E for (E)nfiel(D).  The barrel is marked Cal .38, the date '43, War Arrow, along with various proof marks the crown cypher, GR, for Georgius Rex or King George VI (The stamp for King George VI was used from 1937 through 1952).

The Enfield No. 2 was a British top-break revolver designed by Captain H C Boys at the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield, chambered for the .38 S&W round. It was manufactured from 1930 to 1957 and served as the standard sidearm for the British Commonwealth during the Second World War, alongside the Webley Mk IV and Smith & Wesson Victory Model revolvers. The 1939 variant, the Mk I*, featured a spurless hammer and was designed for double-action use, meaning the hammer couldn’t be manually cocked for each shot. The Enfield No 2 was known for its quick reloading, thanks to its automatic ejector that removed all six cartridge cases from the cylinder simultaneously. Most Enfield No 2 revolvers were made by the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield. This revolver is often called the “Tankers” model due to its spurless hammer, which reduced the risk of accidental firing in the confined spaces of tanks and armored vehicles. Rumour suggested that it was designed this way to avoid catching on things inside tanks, however, many historians now believe that the real reason was cost and speed of production.

It has a 5" blackened barrel with front blade sight, six shot, fluted cylinder. Blackened frame, exposed spurless hammer. Steel trigger guard and grip frame. Lower lanyard ring. Grooved wooden slab grips. Green lanyard cord.

*Condition*
This wartime revolver is in good condition. The extractor works and the action cycles. The revolver retains much of its blackened finish but it is patchy and worn in places. The marks are indistinct. There is a chip to the base of the scales. Please see photographs as part of the condition report.
