Good day to all here.  This is my first posting here.  Thank you for having me.  I shall post some photos of my circa WWI Webley soon.

A little bit about you would be nice, no see anything. Are you in U.K.?  Are you a collector of anything military? Uniforms, medals, period guns, just curious. I do not want to offend or sound pushy

Welcome to the forum, hope you will like it. There are enough members, topics, and post for you to browse to last a lifetime😊😁

No worries.  I am in the U.S., specifically Washington State.  I am a disabled vet (I jumped out of planes in my youth, thus my disabilities) with artificial knees and a wrecked lower back, but I’d do it all again because I’m just a big dummy🤪 I do not collect, per say, but do rather fancy British arms and history.  I also have a pretty nice Martini-Henry Mk.II .577/.450, made in 1876.  I also have numerous modern arms. I enjoy shooting in general, and I have taken numerous tactical courses to further my skillset, such as it is.  My wife and I both shoot period correct flintlock rifles and pistols (Lancaster, Pennsylvania style) and re-enact the Western United State mountain man era (aka pre-1840 fur trade). I have fired many, many different types of historical military firearms.  I hope that helps.

That all sounds great

First, Thank you for your Service, greatly appreciate it.! I am also in the States, trucker, or as I say it, professional Drifter. My company does not go to W.A., You sound like a good person to meet.I collect Rifles and Bayonets among other things. I wish I had the time to shoot like you and your wife .You are lucky to find a woman who also likes to shoot, a rarity now. It been so long since I shot a rifle, it’s a shame. Hope for Webley pic’s in near future, Take care.
