8/12/22 - This is an all matching and original Webley Mark V revolver that was manufactured in 1915 for the Great War. The Webley Mk V was the standard British service revolver at the outbreak of the First World War. It was one of a series of .455 inch calibre Webley revolvers which were the standard issue pistols of the British Army from 1887 onwards. They were robust and powerful weapons, which gave excellent service until replaced by the handier Enfield No 2 revolver. This particular revolver appears to have been shaved down to .45, as the face of the cylinder is unmarked. It has maybe 80% of the original finish, with most of the wear on the cylinder and a notable amount of patina on the grip frame. Minty bore and good mechanics. The grips have handling wear on both panels but no major cracks or chips. Four inch barrel.
