Unidentified revolver

This might be a Colt New Service such as this:

British Colt New Service circa 1915 - .455 Webley.

It has an Adams patent ejector and the size looks proper for a .32/.38 revolver so one of the Webley .32/.38 pocket models would almost certainly match up lookswise with the revolver we see. A Webley Model 83 with a four inch barrel could be the gun. https://www.gunsamerica.com/userimages/144505/997021864/wm_4021548.jpg This will take you to an image of a Model 83 to look over and see if you agree on the possibility of it being a match.

I found this article regarding a Webley No. 5 variant with small frame and round barrel https://www.thebroadarrow.info/webley-no5-360cf-revolverLJ (talk) 17:21, 11 May 2022 (EDT)

After comparison I am tending towards the 4.5" Webley No. 5, unless some additional discussion occurs (hopefully more than a monosyllable).LJ (talk) 16:10, 13 May 2022 (EDT)

I strongly doubt in it. The second revolver lacks the trigger guard, so it most likely has a folding trigger that never was used on Webley No 5. My best guess is that this is a Belgian pocket version of Webley RIC/Bulldog, chambered in calibers about .38 or .32. Such revolvers are not uncommon in British productions of 1950s-1970s.--Greg-Z (talk) 14:16, 22 May 2022 (EDT)
