Webley Mk.V

I want to trade or sell a Webley Mk.V , and I cannot find a comparison to place a value on it with. I understand that they were made from 1913--1916. This one has been changed to fire 45acp, and has a 4'' barrel. Bluing is light, but is not bad at all. Lockup is good enough, although there is a little play in SA mode. It is a very good shooter and functions well...The pistol has three possesion markings. Two are crossed out. They are for the Queensland Police, and for Queensland Government. The last one, which is not struck out, is for the Department of Defence...An approximate value would be appreciated.Thanks

In any case, he is -- as usual -- a proper object of compassion, and the bowels of my sympathy are moved toward him.

    I'd like to know an approximate value on a matching Webley Mk.V. It is complete with it's lanyard ring,has a 4" barrel, and is marked to indicate service in Australia, with the Queensland Police, Governmaent, and with the Dept. of Defence...It is in 45acp, and it fires just fine .

    Sorry, but I don't know...Possibly was done by the importer to make them more in line with the American caliber.

    I think that because of the conversion the gun is only gonna be worth $150.00 on a Good day......Its worth $300.00 in original .455 cal.
