OK, let's make this easy.

Click on the icons outlined in black in the photos below, in the order shown.

When you get to the "Add Files" window, you can click on the "+" sign next to "Upload" for as many photos as you want to upload; you can see I clicked on the "+" six more times. This will produce a 'stack' of "Browse" icons and you can click on each one successively.

Each time you click on one, a new window opens showing your computer's folders and directories. Find the photo you want on your computer and double click on it and you will see its name appear next where that "Browse" was.

If you only have one, just click on "Browse" once, find the file, double click on the photo/file name.

Then click "Upload" and all the selected photos will upload showing thumbnail versions.

Then click "Attach", and if you have finished typing what you want, click "Submit" and you're done.

Why I felt like launching into this explanation I don't know, but it's done now!

Surpmil Thanks for helping me out with the pictures. Was used to doing the old photobucket.
This is a hole lot easier.

Its a Webley MKVI .22 RimFire Pistol dated 1941. Not many about these days, women drivers had them in WW2.

[303 Collector]

Its a Webley Mk V1 455 service revolver dated 1916.
At some point in its life the 455 cylinder has been removed and
the single shot block and barrel insert installed. This is obviously
dated 1941.
The 22 conversion units are either a single shot affair like the one
in the pictures or one with a six shot replacement cylinder and barrel.
The cylinder bores slope slightly to allow for the fact that the 455 is
a centre fire and the 22 a rim fire.
Used for training purposes as 22 is cheaper than 455 and can be used
on indoor 25 yard ranges.

Hope this helps

I guess 1941 is a serial no., these things are not usually dated.

Thanks so much for the help. I was brought to me to put up on auction. The gentleman was burned by a dealer over a couple of rifles. I could not fine any info on the single shot 22. Just the revolver being a 6 shot. I thought it would have been a trainer. Told the owner it would bring more at auction than I could offer. It came with a P-38 an a Lahti M40. Which he also wanted up for auction. The rest of the firearms he brought down to me we came to an agreement. Thanks so much for the help,.
