Very nice!
I used to be all about the longer barrelled square grip Webleys, but these relatively short barrel guns with birds head grips have grown on me.
A very good looking and classic revolver IMO.
I understand why you like the heft of it - a feature about these solid revolvers, which always appealed to me as well.
Further more, the flowing line from the break open hinge to the bottom of the birds head grip is very very elegant IMO.
You mentioned bluing and bore - is the Webley still tight in regards to the break top hinge or has it developed a slight wobble over the years?
