only asking becasue if it was .44 S&W (not special or heavy) it could have been a lent to Russia as in .44 Russian

As issued to the armoured corp

Certainly possible. .44 Special was never a military cartridge, but the Russians could have used the older ammo in this pistol. But with the British proofs, I think was meant for the UK. The Brits were desperate for anything that could throw a bullet then. Maybe someone at the S&W Forum can decipher these proofs better than I, who is no expert.

Enfield Mk. 2. There was a bit of a scuffle with Webley over this revolver. As in " you wankers stole our design (for the Webley Mk IV)" , which they sorta did. Both handguns are great shooters and very collectable.
