The .455 Webley revolvers were a cornerstone of British military service, celebrated for their durability, reliability, and robust design. Initially approved with the Mk I model in 1887, these revolvers underwent several iterations identified by Roman numerals: Mk I (1887), Mk II (1894), Mk III (1897), Mk IV (1899), Mk V (1913), and Mk VI (1915). Notable for their Vulcanite hardened rubber grips, which provided durable and comfortable handling, these revolvers were privately purchased by officers and issued under War Office contracts. Production was handled by P. Webley & Son until 1897, after which it continued under the name Webley & Scott following the company’s acquisition of W.C. Scott. The Mk VI model, produced until 1926 by the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield, was particularly significant. Overall, the .455 Webley revolvers marked substantial advancements in firearm technology and played a key role in British military history.
