Wolseley. 1917/1918
This survey continues on. As far as Wolseley is concerned the highest serial number I have observed with a 1917 date on the frame is 12156. The lowest serial number with 1918 on the frame that I have seen is 14439.
Does anyone have a Wolseley Mk111* that falls between these two serial numbers? This would help establish the number made before the 1918 marking.

Thanks Peter
Yes the survey is certainly still going, if not a little slowly at times.
136 is the lowest number I have seen for a 1915 example.

Just posted on the Gunboards Forum, a Chubb serial number 1034, dated 1916.
This is the highest serial number observed so far and puts pay to the theory that the second contract may have been a duplicate of the first contract for 500 pistols, from the Ministry of Munitions
