Description
The Webley Mk IV .455 British Service Revolver is an iconic top?break sidearm built for the harsh realities of colonial warfare and early 20th?century battlefields. Compact yet formidable, its 4" barrel and self?extracting top?break action allow exceptionally fast reloads—one of the major advantages that made Webley revolvers trusted by British officers, cavalry, and mounted troops during the Boer War and beyond.
Chambered in the powerful .455 Webley, the Mk IV delivers authoritative stopping power in a rugged steel frame designed to withstand mud, dust, and field abuse. Its classic bird’s?head grip, double/single?action trigger, and fixed blade?and?notch sights give it unmistakable imperial?era character. With its blued finish, case?hardened internals, and military pedigree, the Mk IV remains a prized collectible for enthusiasts of British service arms and turn?of?the?century firearms history.
