Andy L,

I got my first MkVI .455 Eley caliber Webley revolver in 1960 in lieu of a high school class ring and still have it. My mom paid $14.88 plus shipping for my MkVI that happily has New Zealand markings. It was modified, as Rocky said, to accept .45 ACP ammo in half-moon clips of 3-rounds each. I have never seen a MkVI Webley in the original .455 Eley caliber. Without seeing the piece, I would say it is in the $350-$500 range. That mope with a reserve higher than $695 will have a long wait. Why did you mention half-moon clips in your first post? An original .455 will take the rounds without any clips. Hope this helps.

Adam
