With the Mark 6 Webley revolver coming about in and being approved for service in May of 1915 it officially became the issue hand gun in British service. You can see the differences between it and the Mk4 revolver that it was suppose to replace. The pistol came with a 6″ barrel and was chambered for the .455 cartridge. The grip style had been changed as well as a minor change to the front sight.

You can see that this one has been shaved to accept 45 auto rim or 45 acp with half moon clips.

This is actually one of my favorite revolver to shoot.
Now I’ll have to dig mine out of the safe and go shoot it!

Not a bad idea. I think once a month we should have a take it out of the room/safe and have a feel the love shoot an old gun
