"Prideaux" speed loader

[pitfighter]

A speed-loader for the Webley .455 revolver -

I have had a few of the .455's and was always interested in the "Prideaux" speed loader - well, it appears Northridge have a few -
Not cheap - but for the hard core Webley revolver collector -

Very interesting, have never seen one of those.

Ouch! That is a pricey little piece of history. But if you've been looking for one, this maybe your lucky day.

Ha ha - I was a contributor to that gun-boards discussion two years ago -

The one at Northridge may well be a repro, regardless caution should be used - thanks for reposting those discussions.
