    Question Need help identifying a new Webley MK VI?

    I'm starting my own Webley topic for a new revolver I picked up yesterday.

    It was sold as a Webley MK VI revolver in .455, but shaved for full moon clips. Appears to have been refinished which removed the maker's marks on the left side of the frame. What I find most unusual is that it only has a 5 digit serial number.

    Does anyone know what I have?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.
