Further to the recent posting about my newly acquired Webley New Model R.I.C. ("Royal Irish Constabulary") revolver, I decided to get most of my growing ".455 Family" together for a few group photos ....  The "black sheep" of the clan (an O.P. revolver of the same type as the one in the photos which got disgraced with nickel plating at some time following its military service) was not invited to the photo shoot .... ;)

Click on thumbnail ...

Left side:
- Webley New Model R.I.C. revolver
- Enfield MkII revolver (nominally .476 caliber - but they are effectively .455's ...)
- Webley "W.G. Target" Model (.450/.455)
- Webley Mark V service revolver
Right side:
- S&W 2nd Model Hand Ejector (WWI Canadian Contract)
- Colt New Service Revolver
- "Revolver, O.P., No. 1, Mark I" (A Spanish copy of the S&W .44 Double Action, accepted by Britain for WWI service)
- Webley Mark VI service revolver

This next shot is of the same revolvers, reversed ....

It's that Enfield MKII that's stolen my heart. It has a cumbersome grace all its own.

As you know, I've got several Webley's including the Webley Green Target.  Those Enfields are 'unfortunate' looking revolvers, and I want one!!!!  Oh, and I also want an Adams!
