Help with identification

[bearabledust]

Hi guys, I inherited a few firearms from my FIL and I could use some help identifying what they are and any possible value.

The first is a Webley Mark VI 455 that has been shaved for 45 w/ moon clips.

The second is a Thames Arms 32 cal revolver.

And the third, a Japanese (?) rifle.

They are all dirty and need a good going over.

Well it looks like I know what two of them are. Is there anything I should look for to help determine age, value or what not?

Thanks.

I'm sorry, what? Did you say something?

I was too busy looking at your avatar...

The Japanese rifle is a Kokura Arsenal, possibly a series 21. Missing the dust cover.
You can do some search on the internet for current pricing.... even the auction houses
like Gun Broker.

I have always liked the Webleys. Nice guns hit them up with some Hoppes#9 and rem oil and you should be good to go.
