Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!
Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
Generally speaking, ruins should go to [email protected]

Haven't seen the episode, but the Webley was in very wide use amongst British forces in WW1, so if it featured, it was very likely an intentional nod to the history of the weapon. Or the weapon of the history, whichever you prefer.
It's also a damn fine looking weapon
Agreed! I have an Iver Johnson .32 from the same era...neat weapon but doesnt have the same charm
