Weapons of this type were supplied to the British forces in .455 cal during WW1. Known as the 'Old Pattern No2, there was also an Old Pattern No1... the difference being the maker. Also supplied to the French - but probably in a different calibre. They were withdrawn from service around 1920.

My own example carries British proofs in the flutes of the cylinder.
