Immediately prior to the war's outbreak in 1914, Central Europe was dominated by two powerful states: Germany to the north and its weaker cousin, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, to the South. The two countries formed the core of the Central Powers, also known as the Quadruple Alliance because they were joined after war began by Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire (modern Turkey). The other major pre-war alliance was the Triple Entente, a pact between Russia, Great Britain, and France (called the Allied Powers during the war). These alliances set the stage for a massive war: any dispute between two members of these blocs could pull in all of the others, as the treaties committed these states to defending their allies. And that's exactly what happened.

This is a decent replica for the money but I was a little disappointed with it. The break-open action does not function, unlike earlier versions of the Denix Webley. Also it works in double-action only--no single action. It's fairly accurate in appearance but is quite a bit lighter weight than a real one, due to being mad of zinc alloy instead of steel. Don't set your expectations too high and you will be happy with it.

Nice heavy feel, and working action. The handle is plastic and feels slightly cheaper than the rest of the gun, and the gun stays closed (you can't access the bullet chambers - maybe it's a legality). I bought this for an Indiana Jones costume and I'm very pleased with it.

It is amazing. The weight and feel of this replica is very convincing. I appreciate the fact that the handle can be switched to say a wood grain or what ever your taste. Although I will admit that it is so convincing, I am not sure about bringing it around for comic con or trick or treating.

I am very pleased with the Webley! The barrel doesn’t open to access the cylinder, but that’s okay! It’s a great prop/costume piece and has a nice weight to it!
