The Enfield Revolver No. 2 Mk I is a top-break, six-shot, double-action service revolver chambered for the .38/200 (.38 S&W) cartridge. Adopted by the British Army in 1932 to replace the older Webley Mk VI in .455, it was designed at the Royal Small Arms Factory at Enfield Lock as a lighter, smaller-caliber alternative more easily handled by less-trained conscript soldiers. It served as a standard British and Commonwealth sidearm throughout WWII and into the early Cold War.
