What information can you find about the Webley British Fuse Igniter Pistol?
The official name for this interesting piece is "Pistol, Safety Fuse". They were issued to the Royal Engineers & also to the Royal Navy in Great Britain. They were designed to ignite fuse for exploding land mines, blasting and the type of demolition work carried out by Army sappers (engineers). They were produced from around 1875 to at least 1915 and they were also made for commercial use. They main body is of bronze or brass with various components of steel. On the military ones, belt hooks are found on either side. Some or all were silver plated. Commercially produced ones of certain periods do not have any obvious maker's names or marks. The beauty of this tool is that it is completely silver plated (possibly for corrosion resistance) . This odd device was produced either in a government small arms factory or by Webley's. Apparently they could be used to ignite either instantaneous or safety fuses. It utilized a short brass, rimmed cartridge (rim diameter 10.8mm, length 9.5mm). It was utilized by inserting about 5" of fuse into the barrel and then tightening the barrel sleeve which forced a collet to grip the end of the fuse. A special blank cartridge was loaded into the breech which was then swung closed. The hammer (firing pin ) was actuated just like a regular single-action pistol. It is theorized that this ignition pistol was carried in a special holster worn across the users chest. The configuration of the mechanisms on it seems to support this. This positioning would protect the fuse igniter from mine shaft walls, etc.

Two noteworthy forms of weathering caused by extremes of weather conditions are:
- Freeze-thaw weathering:
- There is a natural fault/crack/bedding plane in the rock
- Water enters the crack
- Overnight, the water freezes and expands
- The expansion widens the crack, prying the rock apart, breaking it up.
- Ex-foliation:
- There is an outcrop of rock in an environment with a large diurnal range (i.e. a large temperature difference between day and night)
- During the day, the out-most layer of the rock expands more than the rest of the rock
- At night the out-most layer shrinks more than the rest of the rock
- Over time, the rock is weakened by constantly adapting in the heat, and eventually fragments to an extent that it just falls off.

What are the advantages disadvantages of investing in gold?
The primary advantage of owning gold is that there is no counter party risk to the value of your investment. Gold has been a store of value since ancient times and this is not likely to change. By contrast, an investor in bonds or stocks could lose their entire investment if a company goes bankrupt. Despite the fact that gold can fluctuate in value, it is almost impossible to imagine a scenario when gold would have no value. The disadvantages of gold is that it is a sterile investment in terms of producing income. An investor holding physical gold will only see a gain in value if the price of gold increases. Many investors who purchase gold believe that it is a safe alternative to paper currency backed investments since over time many currencies have failed or the value of the currency has declined dramatically due to inflation. For a more detailed explanation, please see my article on "How To Invest In Gold" (http://investing.answers.com/types-of-investments/how-to-invest-in-gold).
