One of the local shops has a WW Greener made gate-loaded double-action revolver.
It bears a strong resemblance to a Royal Irish Constabulary revolver.
It looks almost exactly like the one at this link.
Willard and I didn't know exactly what it was, said so, and I started in on Duck-Duck-Go.
The expert was pontificating that HAD to be .455 Webley and black-powder.
I mentioned that there were lots of rounds it could be chambered in, like .442 Webley, not just .455 but he kept repeating it.
I mentioned that the only way to be sure would be to take measurements of the chambers.
Nope, definitely .455 Webley!
Well, I can't find a single example of this particular pattern of this gun that's not in .450 Boxer Mk 1, aka .450 Adams, though wikipedia assures me they were chambered in other rounds.
