I lucked into this from a fellow collector. The cylinder latch spring was broken but Numrich had them new made so I bought 2 of them. Drop-in perfect function. The cylinder is faced off to allow .45 acp in moon-clips. That's probably why I was able to buy this for under $200 at the time.
The original 6 digit serial number was lined out and a new N-prefix number stamped in, which I was told indicated "navy" issue in WW2. Its dated 1918.
How did it shoot? Unimpressed with a bullet so slow you could throw rocks at the target faster. But its a Webley and a bona fide collectable, to a degree with the cylinder modifed. I loaded .45 AutoRim with Hornday cowboy 250 gr .454" swaged with a light load of Swede gallery powder (similar to Unique).
This was not my first Webley. My first was a Mk1 back in 1966. Cost me $27. I shot WW2 jacketed military ammo through it.
I must like Webleys as I have the Webley Story by Dowd. Expensive book on the subject but has everything in it.
