: : I'm almost sure that Indy used a Webley Mk6 when he was a soldier in the Belgian Army in East Africa. Take a good look at Indy's gun during the fight at the beginning of the "German East Africa 1916" YIJC Episode.
: : I have read that the Webley & Scott Mk6 gun was used during WW1. The gun became in use in 1915 so it's possible that Indy used it then and maybe fell in love with that gun.
: : -Webley-

: Nope, it was not a Webley as he was in the Belgium army and was therefore issued French armament and munitions. Revolver was a Nagant, or variant of the same design. Regards. Michaelson

Correct me if I am wrong, but in the script for Raiders, the only pistol Indy has is the Colt 1911 auto. The revolver appears only in the movie.
