Guys,
I am in need of an education from the experts. I know VERY little about the Webley revolvers. However, I have a friend who just asked me to follow up, and get some information on it. The handgun is a Mark V in .455. It is serial number 148,xxx. The barrel/ frame and cylinder match. He asked me not to post the serial number, so I am simply passing on his wishes.
Here is the overall view of the gun in question:
First off, we will examine the Patent date on the frame:
I believe in this photo, that there is a screw missing? The opposite side has a screw, but it doesn't appear to go all the way through.
The backstrap on the handgun has a clear stamp of: 3/15.
Next up is the Model designation and assorted Brit proof marks.
Overall Brit marks with some chrome plating wear off.
It has not been rechambered. I can't seem to get the extractor to raise out of the cylinder. I checked and it is loose.
Here is the firing pin/ face.
Next we will look at the lanyard ring/ pommel:
Both are plastic, one is chipped, and the screw doesn't go all the way through to the opposite grip.
Next set of pics are just random for your enjoyment:
I did notice that at least 1 screw does not match holding the trigger guard in place. I also noticed that when cocking the pistol, the cylinder is slightly out of time. Is this a major problem?
The plating is flaking off, and I observe pits under the chrome. What is going on with this handgun?
Is this a model that is collected, or is this a bubba'd revolver? Please let me know what you think.... honesty is fine...
