[Tokarev-Nagant]

Today made a deal on a Webley & Scott Mark IV revolver and couldn't be happier!
It is in great condition with 85-90% bluing left. Its a war finish approximately made in 1943 according to the serial number and came with a excellent condition canvas holster. I was wondering if their is any unit markings on this gun that i might be able to find out some of the history behind this gun.
The holster is clearly marked M.E.C.o 1942^ ^55

The pistol is marked War Finish, Webley & Scott LTD, Mark IV 38, a crown over a winged bullet with what appears to be an X and a P below that, ^ 7/11 44, has the proof marks all the way around the cylinder, and the caliber and 3.5 tons marking

Cant tell You much about the revolver Im afraid but the holster stamping indicates it will have been made by Mills Equipment Company I think.

Unit markings generally belong to revolvers dating earlier than World War II. Crossed swords over a "P" and under a crowned "GR" would mark a revolver proven during the reign of King George VI. The arrowhead marks government property, and the sideways "E" over 44 means inspector 44 at Enfield Lock. Poor eyes do not focus on your second snapshot. What do the little markings in front of the holster guide in your fifth snapshot depict? The cartridge and proof designations were added after the war, the same time as the commercial Birmingham proof marks "BV" and "BP", to enable export of surplus arms from Britain at that time.
