Well this is not the photography talk forum last time I checked. But if you would like you could post up some tips I could ignore.
Well, I'm no professional but a contrasting background would really help. I could barely tell there was a gun in the picture. At least you didn't have a scope with the sticker still on it in there too.Well this is not the photography talk forum last time I checked.

That reminds me, I need more stickers on my scope.
The brand stickers help keep the glass clear.
Also good camouflage for Odessa.
A Webley Mk I in .455...
UPDATED: I got some info on this revolver from another forum, so I am updating this post...
The Webley Mk I was officially adopted on 8 November 1887, and approximately 40,000 were made before the Mk II was officially adopted in May 1895.
This example doesn't appear to have been re-arsenaled, nor was it updated to a Mk I* (a dovetailed hardened backplate installed and in some cases the hammer is replaced, essentially turning it into a Mk II).
The finish appears to be more "military expedient" (whatever that means.) The lack of the addition of "ENGLAND" to the side suggests it didn’t come to the US through normal commercial channels.
It has "broad arrow" proofs showing it was acquired by the U.K. War Department. It also served in the Royal Navy for some time during its life, and may have spent some time in Ireland in some capacity or another.
So the more info I get, the more questions there are. I love that, as it adds to the possible history (and mystery) of this firearm!
The holster, a 1943 Canadian canvas variant for a Mk VI, was included.
Cheers! M2

Fiocchi used to make Webley ammo.
Shot it in a MkVI.
Its loaded pretty light for use in BP guns.
It seems nowadays the stuff is unicorn teeth rare.
Used regular .45acp dies and bullets to reload the brass.
Nice gun MMM. Thanks for posting pics.

That is really nice. I like how clean it looks (the lines, lack of "billboard" etc.) I love those guns - built like a tank.
WOW!!
I didn't even know they were making the 3" again!
How long have those been out?
Color me jealous.
