WW2 British officer's impressions and displays and of course, Indiana Jones displays need a good Webley Mark IV. Until now, there haven't been any good metal replicas except originals which cost dear. (I know because I bought one!).
www.keystonearsenal.com has just introduced full metal copies. Only a few were just received as prototypes for the full production run. These are shown on the 'WWII' replica pages of the site.
I just got their Indy Colt and Indy Smith & Wesson and although the painted finish is OK and the wooden grips are crude (but real wood), a half hour spent with some very fine steel wool and 1600 wet sandpaper to smooth and weather the painted metal finish will yield very fine looking, large and hefty blank firing replicas, fit for a jungle adventure.
The grips could easily be swapped out for better ones-undrilled to match up the holes-and I may do that later on.
I'm not shilling for this site but I always appreciate a tip and these guys deliver a pretty good product for the money.
They assemble the Indy guns on site but many of the others are imports you will recognize from other sites. The Thompson range is pretty comprehensive. Still saving for one of those!
Anyway, if your holster is stuffed with a resin replica, you can now upgrade for a reasonable price. Delivery of the full inventory of the Webley is estimated for November. The prototypes are sold out. (Yeah, brag, brag, I got two.)
