First picture, Enfield or Webley?[edit]

Someone changed the caption text to say the first picture, the one in the template box, was of a Webley .455. The uploader identifies the gun as an Enfield. I've changed the text back but I really don't know enough about the two guns to say which is correct. Can someone familiar with the Enfield confirm the picture is of the correct gun? Thanks in advance. --212.65.116.17 (talk) 19:27, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you click on the infobox picture and enlarge it, you can read the stamp marks on the revolver, which reveal that it is a Webley Mark VI, chambered in .455, and was manufactured in 1917, and therefore has very little to do with the subject of the article. Although frankly you can tell it's not a No.2 at a glance. The No.2 has a completely different hammer spur (where the spur was fitted, on models capable of single action), it doesn't have that 'step' at the front of the frame below the barrel, the trigger and trigger guard are a different and more elegant shape and it has a square 'corner' at the back, below and behind the hammer and above the grip. It's just different. See the Imperial War Museum's RAF No.2 here. https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30033330 Khamba Tendal (talk) 18:37, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
