There are Webleys available that are far 'cleaner' than that for less money - but you have to look.

They're marked with the Broad Arrow for an acceptance stamp - but there are also other markings that can indicate it's history.

The Pistol, Webley, Mark IV (Common) was introduced by the List of Changes,  para. 787 - published October 1899 and was the standard British revolver from the Anglo-Boer War to the beginning of WWI.

Out of curiosity - how will your character come by owning it, along with the necessary ammunition?

Except that 'Press Gangs' were no longer being used, since British impressment ended in practice after 1815, at the end of the Napoleonic Wars — the Royal Navy fought no major naval actions again until World War I, a century later, when conscription was used for all the military services.

Aboard ship - the 'guardman' would've been a Royal Marine working as one of a pair and armed with a rifle, if at all, since revolvers weren't issued on a wholesale basis to Other Ranks.

Just curious.

It's your money - the advice still stands as valid.

OK how about this I stole it from a drunk officer while he was in our pub.
and i jumped a frieghter to America.  hows that...

[St. George]

Maybe - if you explain why he was armed - since 'the Troubles' were yet to come, as was the formation of the I.R.A. in 1919 - and there'd've been no reason for it.

A British Officer was pretty well safe from crime in Ireland, drunk or sober - retaliation was swift and would've been carried out by his men...

Your character as a Piano Player would be equally well-represented with a good Webley Bull Dog or Webley R.I.C. - since both were offered for commercial sale during the time frame - as were the Belgian copies of same.

These are Black Powder rounds - but they can be loaded for easily.

Good Luck.

SO let drop the hold Bloody thing

Dang St George, you sure are a wet blanket.  Stop stepping on someone else's fantasy.  He can come about it anyway he wants, its his story and I'm sticken to it. 

The Troubles started after "The '45" when my ancestor, Joseph Paisley of The House of Abbercorn, brought the Scotish Mercenarys to Northern Ireand.  These were the origional Orangemen.

Actually, he met an ex-Confederate Calvary Sergeant named LZ Walker, who, for a small sum allowed him to hop into his time transference machine and voila! He was onboard one of Her Majesty's ships and grabbed the piece from said Royal Marine, along with ammunition by the ton, and was "ZAAPPED!" yowee! back to 1873 so fast that Marine's head is STILL spinnin'! The ammo caused so muc trouble on the machine that said Honourable Irishman was coerced to buy drinks, freely, for said Sergeant for the remainder of the night!
