Gun Collectors Dream Auction 63 Day Two
Lot 1014:
Up Next We Have a Webley Mark VI Double Action Revolver Chambered in .455, Appears that the cylinder has been shaved for .45 ACP. Produced in 1918, 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/ 1918" on the left side of the frame, checkered square butt grips. 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.
