Don't know too much about obscure W&S revolvers...but it appears to be a variation of the Webley&Scott "W.P" .32 pocket revolver- available in Hammer and hammerless - This one, obviously being the latter (actually concealed hammer rather than hammerless)

RB Rodda&Cos 1930 centenary catalog lists the one with a longer 3 inch barrel at Rs.95!

Interesting anyway

... of course one can notice the amusing Indian penchant of sticking a lanyard swivel in even the smallest pistol! :)

Was there something special about the revolvers?

There is a very nice Webley Government in .455 on sale for a buy now price of $1895 on gunbroker

Make sure none of the IOF people see this...they'll probably think it worth copying and inflict it on the poor unsuspecting public... ;)

This is the Webley .320 Pocket Hammerless Revolver. These were manufactured between 1901 - 1936.
