I would like to, but my pockets just aren't deep enough right now!

I would love to have a TL, an HEII, a Webley Mk VI, and (believe it or not) a Spanish copy of the S&W top break, all in .455 of course and well marked as the British were so fond of doing. Not to quibble, but I thought there was one Great War. (Great meaning "Huge", not that it was a great thing to have such a war. The former was its much more common meaning back then, especially in England.) World War II was even larger, but I have never heard it referred to as the "Second Great War". Ok, no offense and I didn't mean to digress so much.

Here is a sort of placeholder, a Colt New Service in .455 that went to England circa 1915. Alas, it has been refinished and has repo grips, but someday will be upgraded:
Who out there collects the British marked S&W's from the great wars?  PHOTOS ADDED-coltnewservice-jpg
