Not sure of the model, but it is in 45acp, probably converted from the webley round, the serial number is 203723, thanks for any help with date of manufacture. Its a friend's revolver, he just bought it in Philadelphia and wants to know when it was made if possible.

  Its a MK VI. Its should be marked on the side of the top strap or on the side of the receiver if its a commercial model. Oops it was made in 1915.

  I just called my buddy back east and he tells me there is a patent date of 1916 on the revolver, it had to be made after 1916, right?
  Its defintely a Mk7 revolver.

  The 1916 is the date of manufacture. Military MK VIs had the date marked on the left side of the receiver.
