| I recently purchased Neil Aspinshaws very good book on the Martini-Henry “The Martini-Henry, for Queen and Empire”. It’s a wonderful book, of course. What I would like to find is a highly recommended book on British military sidearms circa 1879. Particularly, but not necessarily Webleys. Your suggestions appreciated.

| "The Webley Story" is the go to bible on all you ever needed to know about "Wobblies" but it's isn't cheap - Fred Myatt's Firearms of the c19th Century covers all manner of stuff including revolvers in a fairly basic way. Taylerson's The Revolver Volume 2 - 1865 to 1888 is another go to and cheap option cause not a people know about it - from £12 on Amazon and elsewhere.
