Royal Armouries | Webley Mk IV Revolver from Titanic's White Star Line, with firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson @RoyalArmouries | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
A few weeks ago, Jonathan as he often does was perusing the web and saw a White Star Line Webley revolver in the collection of a fellow museum.
"That's a very cool thing," he thought to himself. "I wonder if we have one of those?"
As it turns out we do. We know what you're all wondering: Which ship did it come from? Well, we reached out to the modern owners of the White Star Line, Cunard Line to ask them if they knew, but they remained tight lipped. What are they hiding? We don't know either. All we know is here's Jonathan with one of our favourite revolvers on this series to date.
