    It appears to be a Webley Revolver.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Webley Mk VI Revolver


    The Webley Revolver (also known as the Webley Top-Break Revolver or Webley Self-Extracting Revolver) was, in various marks, a standard issue service pistol for the armed forces of the United Kingdom, and the British Empire and Commonwealth, from 1887 until 1963.

    The Webley is a top-break revolver and breaking the revolver operates the extractor, which removes cartridges from the cylinder. The Webley Mk I service revolver was adopted in 1887 and the Mk IV rose to prominence during the Boer War of 1899–1902. The Mk VI, introduced in 1915 during the First World War, is perhaps the best-known model.

    Firing large .455 Webley cartridges, Webley service revolvers are among the most powerful top-break revolvers ever produced. The .455 calibre Webley is no longer in military service but the .38/200 Webley Mk IV variant is still in use as a police sidearm in a number of countries.[1] With a modified, "shaved" cylinder and the use of a half moon clip, the Webley Mk VI can fire the .45 ACP cartridge,[2] although standard pressure .45 ACP cartridges exceed Webley proof loads and should not be used.[3]

        Looks like a revolver to me.
        Maybe it's the one they used in the movie, 'Zulu'.

                That's my guess too.

                  The hammer profile is different from Webley revolvers.

                      Agree with the others that it is an Enfield No.2 MK I revolver, like mine.

                      with an empty 38 Special case.

                        You guys are great. The gun looks just like Roger’s pics— markings are even similar. Do these have much value? Thanks

                          Doesn't look like prices have changed much in the years I have had it.

                            It's the mk1* double action only version. The mk1 is traditional single/double action.

                              smle-man, I noticed on the Wiki - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enfiel...nfield-No2.jpg - that a 1940 pistol has the Enfield name on the right side of the revolver. Albion seems to be on the ones they made. Mine doesn't have a name there.

                              Did they just delete that from later wartime production or is there another reason why there is no name on the right side?
