Two Golden Era Firearms!

Hey all. I just wanted to post a pic of my new Webley MKVI alongside my long late great-grandfather's WWI Colt New Victory .38 revolver he was issued as a biplane pilot during the Great War.

Beautiful!

Do they both shoot? I know the Victory Mod. is a .38, Right? Easy to get ammo for that. What about the Webley? .455? I don't see that round much. Is it hard to come by where you are?

Kool-
I don't think the Webley is much of a shooter- viscious and inaccurate.
I'm sure you could have some fun with the Colt.

Well, the Webley sadly went through the .45 ACP conversion like so many did back in the late 1940s. I know that the Colt is in beautiful shape, having rarely been fired since my great grandfather's death, but the Webley needs some serious TLC.

Anyone know a good gunsmith for antique firearms?

The Colt looks like a .38 S&W (short & week).

Very nice firearms!

Cylinder and Slide does quality work on old revolvers. Don't know if they work on Webleys though. http://www.cylinder-slide.com/

S&W Victory may be 38/200. .38 S&W will work in this revo but it wll shoot low.

Good looking pieces.
