Re: [DL] A fine British revolver...

It's definately not the Webley Mark I, the Mark I was a standard
double action revolver.
However, after 3 hours of searching the web I stumbled across this
single reference to the weapon I was looking for (and it had a picture
too)...

The Webley Fosberry .455 Automatic Revolver. Still can't find any
dates for it though...
