Description
10/13/26 - For sale is a Colt Model New Service Revolver made for the British market. This gun is originally chambered for .455 Webley and the cylinder has not been shaved, but it appears the cylinder chambers were reamed to accept a .45 Long Colt cartridge. So it would appear the .45LC fits the revolver better now, and while a .455 cartridge still fits and fires, we would recommend this gun is looked at by a gunsmith before buyer attempts to shoot it in .455 Webley. This revolver was adopted by the military and has military proofs on the frame. The metal retains a polished blue finish with plenty of wear. The frame and cylinder have moderate edge wear and the area around the muzzle has finish loss. The front left of the frame has the British crossed flags stamp and the right side has opposing broadhead arrows and crown proof. The trigger guard and the front & back of the grip are worn down to bare metal. The left grip is cracked across the middle but the right grip is in good condition. The bore is bright with good rifling but there are signs of wear.
