I'm sure Mad Reloader knows more than I do on these guns, but your phrase "half-moon clips" raised my eyebrows.
Webleys did NOT use half-moon clips. Lots of guns were imported into the US after WWII, but the correct ammo was almost impossible to get. So owners had gunsmiths mill off a bit of the cylinder at the rear so that they could use 45 ACP ammo in clips (or 45 Auto Rim rounds).
So modified, they are worth only a fraction of their "as-issued" price. Good shooters, though.
Only an in-hand appraisal can give you the gun's true worth. And I'd get three appraisals to make sure one of 'em isn't undercutting you in an attempt to buy it for a song!
