 | | This design dates from just before World War One, and was never very widely distributed, although a few were sold in the U.S., and the British Home Guard must've had a couple of them in stock during the Second World War. |
 | | The introduction of the smokeless powders led to the introduction of the shorter cased Mk II, or "CARTRIDGE, S.A., BALL, PISTOL, WEBLEY, CORDITE, MARK II", introduced in 1898 together with the Mk III cartridge. |
 | | Pressing on a pivoting lever on the side of its upper receiver releases its barrel-and-cylinder assembly, which then tilts up and forward ("breaks open") on a bottom-front pivot, and simultaneously ejects from all six cylinder chambers at once. |
