Webley & Scott traces its roots to 1790 when William Davis established a business in Birmingham, England, manufacturing bullet moulds. The company was later taken over by Philip Webley and his brother James, who began producing percussion sporting guns. Over the decades, Webley & Scott expanded its offerings, becoming famous for the Webley revolver, which became the standard sidearm for British military and police forces. The company adapted to changing times, entering the airgun market in the early 20th century and continuing to innovate through mergers and technological advancements. Despite challenges, including factory relocations and changes in ownership, Webley & Scott has remained a symbol of British gunmaking excellence. The company's legacy is built on a foundation of quality, reliability, and a commitment to meeting the needs of both military and civilian customers.
