Fake or frontline firearm? The mysterious Webley stock with firearms expert Jonathan Ferguson

Followers may be familiar with the shoulder stock on the No.1 Mark I Signal Pistol but we would be seriously impressed if you've seen the same stock mounted on the classic British early 20th-century sidearm, the Webley Mark.VI. Jonathan investigates whether this was a unique experiment or intended for actual usage in the trenches of western Europe.
