Good to know, and will try to add content, as well seeing that their synopsis of the Firearm is not 100% accurate!lol:lol

Man! This gun gets around!

There's a super brief appearance in Robert Downey Jr's Sherlock Holms too.

I think this is also the gun Donald Sutherland uses in Virus.

Cool find Sith Sheriff Brody, although very similar, look at the hanlde more closely and you'll see this is in fact The Webley MK VI, The Webley Green's Military Issued brother!

I think this is also the gun Donald Sutherland uses in Virus.

[Stark1138]

This one just barely cuaght my eye...

I'm pretty sure that's an Enfield, I know the guy on the left (gun out of frame) has an Enfield Mk V.

 

[Capn_Jack_Savvy]

Bring it home to the small screen as in television!

I believe Captain Jack Harkness carries one of these!

Thye oguy on the left may have an enfield, however that is definately a webley green, by looking carefully at the guns lock, and slide on the side. Similiar to the Webley MK V but distinct in their differences.

Good find Captain Jack!

Oops, I opened this photo up in prewiew mode and zoomed in and the butt of the grips are squared....

A Webley MK V again, but close!:lol

Actually, Captain Jack carries the MKIV in .38 caliber.

And just to clarify a popular misnomer...

The Pistol is the Webley WG, which stands for "Webley Government."

Green, who's name is attributed to the WG actually had nothing to do with it's design. Green worked for Webley/Enfield in that time period, but wasn't involved in the design of the pistol.

The misconception comes from a misprinting in a book I believe called "The Webley Story."

And, for additional odd trivia... Even though the WG stands for Webley Government, the WG was never actually issued by the British government. It was sold in (I can't recall the name) Military base "stores" and often purchased by officers for their personal use.

The WG also went through several revisions to the design (such as the flat bottom "cowboy style" grip) and was also stamped with .450/.455 and .455/.476 (The Indy Pistol was this caliber).
