minus-square@PugJesusOPMlinkEnglish1•1 day agoHaven’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
