This is the best one of these I have ever handled(maybe even as good as one of Bills!) And I will be keeping this one for a looooong
time! It is uncut and the recoil shield still has the prettiest straw color I've ever seen.
Webley MK VI

Seriously impressed, Ned.

Re: Webley MK VI
Hi Gary,
that is the best iv seen for ages, it is a better finish than the W.W.2
.38, you are very lucky to be able to shoot it. I have a 1940,s
.38, but only in deac here in England. I would love to own one.
Is it a .455 ?.

Re: Webley MK VI
hi Gary,
I wish this old girl wasnt dead unlike yours, you can see how good your pistol is. do you think yours was a private purchase ?,
As i have seen that model in war finish also.

Re: Webley MK VI
Hi Dave,
Your de-ac is a mark IV(4) in .38/200 calibre.Gary's is a mark VI(6) in .455 calibre. The IV was bought in during the 1930's as a replacement for the heavier loaded VI. The .38/200(Grains) was also very popular with police forces and public shooters up till very recently, i wouldn't mind betting some are still in police armouries in the u.k today, having sustained very little wear.
The Mk.VI(6) was probably one of the heaviest loaded break-barrel pistols ever built, but that is just my opinion.
Regards, Ned.

Re: Webley MK VI
Hi Dave,
Based on the fact that there is a Broad Arrow acceptance stamp I have to assume it was not a private purchase weapon.
Cheers
Gary
Re: Webley MK VI
Hi Ned,
Yes i know it is Mk VI, i put 4 by mistake, i just put the MkIV on to compare the great condition that Gary,s pistol is in.
I missed the arrows Gary Sorry. But what a very nice gun.
Dave.
