Definitely. I'd seriously consider putting money down for this.

A truly iconic pistol, I would have one in a heartbeat. Sadly I never got to shoot one seriously although the ex did shoot one from time to time.

Had a .455 Webley at one point.
Lovely gun but sold it to get a .455 Colt New Service
Great to see an old icon being resurrected

Over the years, I owned and shot a Mk4, a Mk6, a WG Army, A S&W Triple-lock and two New Service Colts. Also a 38 Mk4, which was pretty useless.
If I was going to put one back into production, it would be the WG. Having also owned a number of S&Ws and several Colts, including the Python, I consider the Webley WG to be the finest revolver ever made. The S&W 686 would be second choice and the MK6 third. Military Mk6 revolvers were sound but un-refined. The difference in double action trigger pull between a military Mk6 and a commercial one, built to the same finish standards as the WS Target, was amazing. If the new Mk6 happens, and the springs are balanced and tuned to the same standards as the commercial one, they will approach the WG in doble action pull and will be great shooters.

FredB has it right
A WG or WS would be great to see back in production
