Can anyone I.D. this cylinder. It is marked "455" on the rear face, and the rear chamber diameter is .4795". Is it a 455 Webley, and what revolver would it fit?
Thank you!

I have a cylinder that has a British and a German proof mark on it, plus an inspector's stamp on the face. Can anyone tell me what type of revolver that this cylinder fits?
Thank You!

You're posting both the URL address and the image, pushing the image off to the right. Don't use the URL link. Just use the image icon and paste the image location between the brackets.
Open the image icon and paste this between the brackets:

This will be the result:
So what does this fit? Never saw one like that so I don't know.
Jim,
I don't have a clue what it fits. That's why I posted the question.

Webley automatic revolvers had something similar. Also there was another revolver whose name eludes me where the cylinder was forced to the forcing cone of the barrel to form a seal and prevent loss of gas through the cylindder gap.
It's the Russian Nagant military revolver, your thinking of. It functions differently though. Has a cam that forces the cylinder forward, as the hammer is coming to full cock.
All modern revolvers, use what is called a "hand" to actuate the cylinder. Rather than a cam surface machined in the cylinder. That uses the bolt mechanism riding in the cam surface. To index the cylinder.
That why the OP's cylinder is so unusual. It seems to be from a recently made .22 revolver. But the cam type mechanism, went out of use many years ago?
