"Do be aware that the only Webley .45s that were rated to use smokeless powder (in the Webley cartridge) are the Mk V and the Mk VI, and production of the Mk VI ended in the 20s after WWI. "

And the Webley Mk IV, which was introduced in 1899 (and is often called the Boer War Model) because Mk III revolvers started coming apart with cordite-loaded ammo, which was introduced into British service in the .455 Webley Mk II cartridge in 1897.

The Mk IV revolver saw heavy use during WW I.
