Background

Webley produced their first pistol in 1853, introducing their first double action in 1867. They are perhaps best known for providing the British Army’s pistols during the late 19th and early 20th century. The Webley No.5 is one of the later pistols produced by Webley before they altered their nomenclature from ‘Numbers’ to ‘Marks’ when the Webley MkI was adopted by the British Army in 1887. The No.5 is sometimes referred to as the Webley New Model, the New Army Express or the No.5 Army Express.

Chambered in the British .455 service cartridge as well as being able to chamber .45 Colt while other models could chamber Winchester’s .44 round (see image two). The Webley No.5 was introduced in 1878 ostensibly as a rival to Colt’s Double Action Army. While the two pistol’s share similar bird’s-head style grips the Webley No.5 was a fundamentally better revolver with a stronger action and more robust frame.
