my friend is doing a british ww1 impression and he is wondering which airsoft revolver looks enough like the Webley revolver?

Best you can do without trawling for ultra rar emodels is the Tanaka M10
Its very close to the S&W 'victory' revolver which was a common private purchase for British officers in WWII, cant say about WWI though.

Many british officers had broom handles which thye bought before the war. I think Winston Churichill had one when he was in service.

If someone made an airsoft webley I would buy it instantly.

Churchill carried a broomhandle Mauser during the Battle of Omdurman, 1898, in the Sudan. He injured his shoulder and carried the pistol because he couldn't use a saber. He later claimed the pistol saved his life during the charge of the 21st Lancers. Not sure what he carried when he commanded a battalion in WWI.

So we're clear on what we need, here's the Webley Mk VI The biggest problem is the Webley is a top break design, where virtually all Airsoft revolvers have a swing out cylinder. I've toyed with the idea of making a shell to surround a revolver that would have the appearance of a Webley, but it would still ahve to use the swing out cylinder. Just no easy way to change that.

As said, if it's for an officers impression you can get away with many private purchases for revolvers. Remember in the UK at the time you could just go into a shop and buy a revolver if you were a gentleman and many just took their own to the front. M10 (airsoft) next to my Webley (real) And in your hand or in holster you simply cant really see a distance unless you're *right next to someone*
