Up Next We Have a Webley Mark VI Double Action Revolver Chambered in .455, Produced in 1917, this revolver is fitted with blade front and fixed notch rear sights, and marked with a number of military "broad arrow" proofs and other proofs on the top strap, between the chambers, frame and trigger guard. Matching serial numbers, with "WEBLEY/ MARK VI/ PATENTS/ 1917" on the left side of the frame, checkered square butt grips and Lanyard Ring. This Revolver Comes With a Canvas Holster Dated 1942. 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 (see FIR 385) in 1932.
