James Bond took a small blue leather notebook out of his
inside pocket and turned the leaves. He stopped turning them.
He looked up. 'at that time, as side-arms, you were carrying a
regulation Webley & Scott .45 with the serial number 8967/362.'
'It was certainly a Webley. Damned clumsy weapon. Hope they've
got something more like the Luger or the heavy Beretta these days.
But I can't say I ever took a note of the number.'
'The number's right enough,' said James Bond. 'I've got the date
of its issue to you by HQ and the date when you turned it in.
You signed the book both times.'
(Ian Fleming - Octopussy)
