The MK VI service revolver was the last in a long line of .455-caliber revolvers adopted by the British, beginning in 1887 with the MK I. The Webley MK VI revolver replaced the MK V in 1915 and sported changes that included a longer barrel (6 inches) and a squared-off grip that was a departure from the classic “bird’s beak” style popularized by the previous five MKs. It still fired the rimmed 265-grain .455 Webley cartridge that had a muzzle velocity of a paltry 600 fps, but it hit its target with undeniable force. Production of the MK VI was ceased by Webley in 1918 with the end of the “war to end all wars.” Nearly 300,000 had been produced by that time, making the MK VI the most widely produced MK of all the service revolvers manufactured by Webley. This revolver was manufactured in 1916. Barrel Length 152mm, 6 Shot Call Southern Cross Militaria on 07 4638 5565 for more information about this firearm.
