[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2256076, member: 711"] I inherited one a couple of years ago. It is a MARK "IV" according to markings on the left side of the top strap. Has a four inch barrel and "bird's head" grips, one of which is a bit chipped. Still has the lanyard loop. An owner previous to the friend I inherited this from had put his name and SS# all over it. Otherwise it's in pretty good shape. Finish looks like chipped shellac and the DA trigger proves not all Brits were wimps. Fun to shoot, though I did not trust it until someone told me the cylinder actually locks up when you pull the trigger. Lockup is tight, and the gap between cylinder and forcing cone looks pretty good. Of course the face of the cylinder has been milled so it acccommodates .45 ACP with half moon or moon clips. I got 12 half moon clips with the gun. I have no plans to sell it. It was my friend's house gun, and has killed all manner of undesirables in a semi rural setting. Actually in city limits, but no one cared and he had about 40 acres of wooded land. It's laying by my keyboard. I sure wish my friend still had it and could use it. It's hard to lose folks you have known over 50 years. [/QUOTE]
