Webley Revolver

service revolver

The standard top-break service revolver of British and Commonwealth officers and vehicle crews, the Webley's heavy .38/200 or .455 round and simple break-action reload made it a rugged sidearm, though by 1939 it was already being supplemented and eventually replaced by the Enfield No.2 revolver, an Enfield design closely modelled on it.
