There is a Webley Mk IV .38 caliber which was produced in the 1930's until the 1950's. It is smaller than the MK VI and, of course, shoots a smaller round. It will fit S&W K-frame holsters, like my US Navy shoulder holster with 12 rounds on the strap. Other than that, it has the same features as the MK VI. It comes in a 4 and 5 inch barrel and can be purchased for about $175 to $225 depending on condition. I bought one not long ago on the Auction Arms site. The MK VI and other Webley's shoot either the .455 or the .45 ACP. Modern ammo can put a strain on older guns, so it is possible that the older Webley could "shoot loose". With a .38 caliber, that shouldn't be a problem. It is a neat, old gun, but it is not the same gun as Indy's.
