Looking at a Webley

You guys raise a really good point. The sight looks strange. I have a Mark V with a 4" bbl, and a Mark VI with a 6" bbl. This doesn't look like either; the VI is pinned, and the V is integral with the rib. This looks like the VI, but I don't have a picture of a 4" bbl. Mark VI.
I really like these Webleys, they are no-nonsense cannons, compared to the beautiful highly engineered Central Powers autos and the wimpy WW2 .38 Enfields. A lot depends on whether this is to be a shooter or a collector.
