Enfield No. 2 Mk 1* Revolver

[jimmyj]

I have been looking at a Enfield No 2 Mk 1* revolver advertised on another forum. This Enfield is advertised as .455 Caliber ?
I was under the opinion that these revolvers were made in .38 S&W (.380 British) only ?

My Enfield revolver is .38-200 caliber. I am unaware of Enfields in .455, but it's out of my area of knowledge.

I agree. But Webleys were made in the bigger bullet, I think. Did you try the google?

My No.2 Mk1* is in 38/200 AKA 38 S&W. Are there pictures? The seller might have mid-ID'd a Webley.

The photos are of a Enfield No 2 Mk 1 but the caliber is listed as .455 in two different areas.

Sounds like the seller has got his/her wires crossed between the Enfield Mk II and the Enfield No.2.

Don't know if the OP is looking to buy this gun, but I read that if the factory crest has been removed from the right side of the frame, it is only considered a parade/ceremonial gun and should not be fired.

I only read the above after purchasing such an Enfield from a private seller. Although very annoyed, he took it back and refunded my $. He phoned me later that he had safely fired it. An unpleasant experience, all around.

In the 1920's, Enfield made direct coptes of Webley MK VI .455's, but they weren't designated as No. 2.

Someone is confused.

There is a Enfield made revolver in .455 wich resembles the Webley MK VI. It is manufacture of a later date. Somewhere in the 1927. I have to look it up. But it is really Enfield made
