The British military made contracts with any country that could supply them. Spain offered to supply 30,000 pistols in .455 caliber. There were three companies under the parent company of Orbea Hermanos y cia of Eibar Spain and all of them were copies of the Smith & Wesson Frontier double action (except for them being in.455 cal.)
