.45 ACP. 4" barrel. SN: 129799. Dull blued military refinish to metal parts with the recoil shield in the white mounting checkered synthetic birdshead grips and standard fixed front blade and rear latch notch sights. Double action six-shot top break automatic ejector revolver. Cylinder has been cut down to permit the use of .45 ACP ammunition retained by moon clips. Barrel rib is marked P. WEBLEY & SON.

Item shows Birmingham firing proofs overall with ENGLAND exporter marking to left barrel. Left topstrap with martial {Crown/GR/Crossed Swords/P} stamp, while the left frame shows a further crossed swords mark. Only part of the extractor has been Broad Arrow marked. Serial numbers match on barrel, frame, and cylinder, but the serial on the latter has been ground down due to the caliber conversion. {C&R}

WARNING: Revolvers of this type were built for lower chamber pressures than that produced by typical .45 ACP loads, and require appropriate loads to be fired safely.

Good as Converted. Bore is Dark with residues, patina, and some oxidized spots. Metal finish with some light edgewear, scratches, and toning to cylinder and recoil shield. Grips show skips, dents, and handling wear overall. Mechanically functional. Action shows good timing.
