Enfield Pistol

Diesel Dummy

Friend of mine got a pistol, asked if I knew anything about it - I don't.

This is all I know: "Enfield Revolver, MK1, 38S&W, dtd 1939, no hammer spur."

Can anyone tell me anything about it or point me to a web site?

Thanks

It's a 6 shot revolver, used/made in great quantity by both Brittsh and Commonwealth forces during W W II. Enfield where it was made, was the primary military arsenal in England.

It's chambered for a cartridge with the same dimensions and interchangeable with our .38 Smith & Wesson. It won't work with the longer .38 Smith & Wesson Special.


They were really cheap when imported and sold as surplus after the war, because of the cartridge. Nowadays I've noticed that they have gone up substantially in value. If it's arsenal original and in very good or better condition, probably $200 - $300.

Thanks rufe-snow for the info, 'preciate it.

captkirk - I'm aware of the search function, thanks for nothing. I was wondering if there were any web sites recently established or if someone could give me a brief answer, as rufe-snow did. Due to the fact that I work for a living I don't often have much time to play on the computer.

Thanks

Just did a search - no results on any forums

nononsense

Diesel Dummy,

That's an unacceptable response to Captain Kirk's attempt to assist you in your efforts to locate information about your friend's pistol. There are many questions that get asked on all of the GB forums that could have been answered by a simple use of the search function but it's often overlooked. As a result, we occasionally suggest that a poster try the search function first simply because it can get a little wearisome answering the same questions. Some common questions have even gone without answers because thay are so repetitive. By using the search function, posters can get a large amount of information all at once or download it to read it at their leisure.

There are a lot of us that work for a living, some of us 7 days a week and still manage to remain civil to the members that have taken the time to post an answer. I suggest that if you don't like an answer to your question, do some searching on your own. There are a couple of dozen good search engines available on the internet and they are free for all to use.

Now, I've wasted one of the responses that could have possibly given you some good information.

Good luck with your search.
