Webley No. 1 MK VI .455 Webley

Description:
In early 1915, the Mark VI came into service. Unlike earlier Webley Mark revolvers, the Mark VI featured a square-butt grip and a dull finish that was less reflective than the blued finish previously seen on the firm's military sidearms. Many commercially-produced Webleys were manufactured as well, and these differ in their lack of military property marks and in the presence of commercial proofs. British government production of the Mark VI began in 1921 at the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield Lock after cancellation of cancellation of the Webley & Scott contracts, and, with the exception of external markings, these models were identical to the Webley-manufactured examples. The rugged Mark VI saw action in the hands of British troops through two World Wars, from the trenches of the Western Front to the beaches of Dunkirk and Normandy, the drive across North Africa, up the Italian boot, and through France and Germany, and as well as in the jungles of the Pacific. Some continued to soldier on through the Korean Conflict. (reference: NRA Library). This particular Webley is unique as it is NOT marked as removed from service. And remains in its original military in service state. Caliber has NOT been modified and remain .455 Webley. This firearm is in exceptional condition, with very small amount of freckle and most of its finish in tacked (70% Plus).
