This is a Webley, Mark IV Revolver which is often referred to as,"The Boer War Model," because production was begun in 1899, just prior to the start of Britian's war in South Africa. This is the rarer Commercial Model and was most likely a private purchase revolver by a Scottish Officer. It is nicely engraved on the topstrap with the famous gunmaker's name and address, "James MacNaughton, 26 Hanover St. Edinburgh." It retains most of the original blue which is fading with patina. The mechanics and bore are excellent. The cylinder has been shaved for use with .45 acp ammo and half-moon clips. The serial number is 910xx and matches on both barrel and frame. There is also an addition number stamped on the butt, "No.2482", which is James MacNaughton's number. The bird-head grips have a few minor dings from combat use but are not cracked or broken. The left frame is marked, "Webley Patents" in an oval with the Webley Flying Bullet logo. The left topstrap is marked, "Mark IV." The left barrel lug is marked with the caliber, ".455/.476."
