British Royal Navy Issue Mk I Webley Double Action Revolver, #23182, .45 ACP cal., 4" barrel, blued finish, black plastic grips, blade front sight and fixed "U"-notched rear sight. Revolver appears to have been upgraded to the Mk 1** standard by fitting a Mark IV barrel and a Mark V cylinder but is not marked to verify this. Left side of frame is marked "WEBLEY/MARK I/PATENTS". Royal Navy issue "N" stamped on rear of frame. Serial number has been ground off barrel, and a mismatched number is stamped on the rear of the replacement cylinder. Revolver has been converted to .45 ACP cal. by shaving the rear of the cylinder and can be loaded using full or half-moon clips. Condition overall is very good with the metal retaining approx. 80% finish, showing dark patina to the front and rear grip straps. Grips are very good showing mild flattening to the checkering and a chip with handling marks along the bottoms. Action is slightly loose but locks up, cycles, and ejects smoothly; bore has frosting with good rifling; chambers have darkening and may clean better. Import stamped on left side of barrel. Est.: $500-$700. (C&R/PPT)
