I recently acquired this revolver. It was made under contract in 1914 for the British by a Spanish Company called Garate y Anitua. It is broad arrow marked so definitely saw military service. It is a direct copy of the S&W .44 Double Action First Model and is chambered in 455 Webley ( or 455 Elley or 455 Colt...). I really like the grips. It just fits in my hand perfectly. Bore is mint but it has issues....The cylinder turns unless the hammer is cocked. I'm hoping this will be a simple fix. This is an old design so i doubt if its a complicated issue. The gun strikes me as being well built.
