    Not a girl, but what is this handgun?

    I found this pic while gathering new content for the Girls with (C&R) Guns. It's a boy, not a girl, but the caption said:

    A tribal munitions factory near Kohat Pass on Afghanistan's lawless border with Pakistan. 1956
    What type of handgun is this? A Webley?

      Going by the caption, its probably a Khyber pass copy of a Webley.

        Probably right.

          Perhaps an adams -- but likely a mixture of all --

          That is a pretty old photo, I recall seeing it before, perhaps in a '60's guns or other mag article about kyber pass guns --

              Looks like a Webley MkIV.455. Probably a hand built copy.
