Hello,

Britishicon handguns are not my specialty, but I have had an Enfield revolver in 38/200 dated 1934 and marked to the RAF for years which I enjoy shooting. Recently I was offered a chance to buy a Webley Mk.VI with a WWI holster. I bit.

In looking the weapon over, I have noticed it is not marked either Webley or Enfield and has a serial number taking it outside Webley production. The serial number is 49** and appears on the frame, barrel, and cylinder. The cylinder is not cut for .45ACP. The weapon has proofs on each chamber of the cylinder and Enfield inspector marks on the holster guide. There is a "23 on the barrel and a number of marks struck over on the metal of the backstrap and a date (I think) 3.40. Pristine bore and cylinders, good timing, a couple of mildly wallowed screw heads...The holster is not marked in any way except for a name Sanderson.

I got both for $650. Can anyone help me with the identification of this weapon. It has so few marks as opposed to most British weapons. I think Enfield Lock made it as the serial number is within a range for their production for 1923. I will try and post some photos as soon as I am able.

Any thoughts about this revolver and its acquisition will be appreciated. Many thanks!
