Any love for Webleys?

So, inspired by the posts about Broomhandles (I have two) and Nambus...

I do love my Lugers (my first love) but my Webley collection is far more significant (something like 8 Webleys to 4 Lugers) . Here's a Webley Mk I** from WWI (Mk I lower with a 1916 dated Mk VI cylinder and upper and a 6" barrel). She's still in the original .455 with some sort of arsenal black paint.

Fun to shoot and engaging in a homely way.

...and here's my Webley Mk V with 1914 date (sadly the cylinder was faced off for .45 ACP/.45 Auto Rim but I do shoot it with Fiocchi .455 rounds using a headspacing ring I acquired from another Webley fan).
