1919 Webley Mark VI in .455 - The Firearms Forum

Helix_FR · 08-13-2009, 04:10 PM

I just aquired a Webley Mark VI with 1919 date in .455 webley. The cylinder has not been shaved to accept .45. Some rust spots but bluing is about 85%. The cylinder serial number does not match the frame serial number. The bore is nice and shiny with good sharp lands and clean groves. Is it still worth anything? I know matching guns have a decent value to them.

I've seen shaved ones go for more than 400. An unshaved one, even if it is a replacement cylinder, should be more than that.
