    It looks like a Webley Senior with a modified thicker barrel or shroud. I have a Senior with an extended barrel but the barrel is the same diameter as the original.

    It is a movie prop so who knows what was added on to it for effect.

    The last scene in which it is visible it definitely looks like the back end of a Webley, as mentioned above with the very distinctive slotted end plug and rearsight set up.

    IIRC the film Octopussy featured some BSA Scorpion's being wielded as tranquiliser dart pistols as well?
    People who have been there focus on the fundamentals. People who sit at keyboards all day focus on the trivial and inane.

    On the subject of Webley pistols being used in movies, there is a scene in the film XXX where what looks to b a Hurricane is used as a tranquiliser pistol:



    See around 3 minute 39 seconds:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7FJwLFxVk4

    If its a Webley overlever they've also disguised the step in the fore end...

    Do I remember correctly? In one episode Tom decides he is going to sort a chicken for their dinner and goes out all manly with the webleyreturns a bit later looking sheepish and they have something other than chicken for their dinner.

    Recall an episode when he shoots someone who is nicking his veg, Tom shoots him in the bum with a Webley, & is taken to court. Gets let off, but ends up being done for contempt of court & jailed. Much to Margo & Jerrys' shame...
    But it was a long time ago, & I may have got episodes mixed up...

    Goldfinger was on again tonight, so taped that segment and on a larger screen & paused at the right point - you can very briefly see the join when they've put an extension over the reduced front section of what does now look to be a Webley.
    (So much for believing the Internet Movie Firearms Database)....



    Well spotted Lakey...
