I believe one of the books mentions him using a .38 Webley, which would make it a MkIV.

Indeed! :D I was always led to believe that the revolver used in LC was a Webley MKIV but a soon found out it wasnt. I think i may just part with this resin kit i have and get the FAR superior Wade Webley :)

I think you guys mean the MkVI not the MKIV. Indy uses the MKVI in the novels. And as Bink mentioned..the movies are a whole different animal.

There are actually two different types of Webley Mark IV's. There is the larger Mark IV in .455 caliber that precedes the Mark VI. And there is also the MKIV in .38 S&W caliber which is a totally different gun than the .455 version and also a lot smaller.



This is the Mark IV .455

This is the Mark IV .38
