A Horological Handgun?
In his book, THE ENFIELD .380 NO. 2 REVOLVER, author, Ian Skennerton wrote that in 1941 Albion Motors, a Scottish truck manufacturer, obtained a contract to make the No.2 MK I* British Service Revolver. But Albion found revolver making to be a rather difficult task.
Due to the lack of skilled hands during WWII, Albion sought help from retired watch and clock makers to help get revolver production going. The elderly horologists where up to the task and large numbers of these much needed handguns were built for King and Country.
