WEBLEY MK II CHAMBERED FOR 32 S&W LONG

pacrat
I WOULD LIKE ANY INFO. YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT AN UNUSUAL NWEBLEY REVOLVER THAT I HAVE. IT IS A WEBLEY MARK II THAT IS CHAMBERED FOR .32 S&W LONG. THIS IS AS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED, NOT SLEEVED OR CONVERTED. IT HAS BRITISH PROOFS AND MARKINGS BUT NOT MILITARY. IT IS ALSO MARKED ON TOP OF BARREL RIB "VIC". DPdonnigan@aol.com

    THE GUN IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO YOUR SECOND PHOTO BUT THE MARKINGS ARE IN A DIFFERENT PLACE AND IT IS NOT STAMPED ON SIDE OF BARREWL WITH CARTRIDGE DESIGNATION.I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW FOR WHAT PURPOSE THEY WERE PRODUCED AND ABOUT HOW MANY? ALSO, WHAT DOES THE "VIC" MARKINGS INDICATE? YOUR OPINION ON VALUE WOULD ALSO BE APPRECIATED. I COULD SEND PHOTOS LATER IF IT WOULD HELP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE.

    If it's possible that the marking is RIC rather then VIC? It might denote that it's the Royal Irish Constabulary model?

    I received the photos and it is very much like the Webley in the lower photo. I examined one of these and that one had been lined. It was a beautiful job, but not a factory original piece. As it turns out this gentleman doesn't live too far from my son, so When we go out to visit next spring maybe I will have a chance to examine and photograph this one.

    So you could put your revolver in your pocket when the game was afoot. Englishmen were not always unarmed.

    THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP GUYS . FROM WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, IT MIGHT BE LINED IN THE MBARREL AND MAYBE A NEW CYLINDER AND EXTRACTER.IT ALMOST SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN FACTORY CONVERTED, THE WORKMANSHIP IS SUPERB. THE .32 S&W LONG IS A REALLY GOOD CARTRIDGE BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW FOR WHAT PURPOSE THIS WAS DONE. I WOULD ALSO REALLY LIKE T5O KNOW THE MEANING AND SUGNIFICANCE OF THE "VIC" MARKING. IT SEEMS TO BE A RARE WEBLEY. THANKS AGAIN.
