The film depicts Lawrence of Arabia while he was serving in the British Army in WWI, he was an officer so he would have been issued a Webley. --AdAstra2009 18:26, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
Actually, officers of that era bought their own sidearm and used whatever they liked, provided it chambered issue ammunition. Lawrence carried a variety of pistols, including a Mauser Broomhandle he sold in 1909, and in 1914 he bought a 1911, that he mentions in several letters to his brother.
Yeah I read about the C96. Did you know that if he had had the Webley a theif would have killed him? He was actually robbed and the theif took his SAA so that he could shoot Lawrence, but the thief didn't know how to use a single action revolver so he just left-S&Wshooter 20:47, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
