    Yup. I always credit and list my references. I'm very meticulous about that in order to add credibility to the articles.

    Brilliant article. Perhaps your best yet.

    Small niggle - the service revolver at the time was the 1899-1913 Webley MkIV .455”. The picture you’ve used is the much smaller 1932-1970s .380” confusingly also called a MkIV.

    Ah right thanks. I'm no expert in those at all.
