This thread MUST have proper photos!
Webley Mk IV, .455...
Webley Mk VI, .455...
The Norwegian lion sold out of service mark on the Mk VI...
So the Norwegian Army liked 'em.
As for the .455 being weak, this unhappy event occurred August, 2005 in Albuquerque, New Mexico...
"Five people were killed in less than 24 hours Thursday— two of them Albuquerque police officers who had recently come out of retirement to serve the city again.
Bullets found at the scene where the officers were shot matched those found at the motorcycle shop, according to the complaint. The bullets were "consistent with a Webley, six-shot revolver."
Both officers were wearing their bullet-proof vests."
I read about this at the time and I remember the coroner tied the Webley to the murders by the peculiar shape of the .455 bullet.
