Cool. Is it chambered for the original .455 cartridge or one of the ones in .45 ACP?

It’s an original, complete with a leather “flap” holster that my father brought back from Australia at the end of WWII. He was in charge of Naval Procurement in Melbourne for four years. He enlisted in the Navy right after Pearl Harbor when I was a little over one year old. When he came home, I was five.
I’ve fired the Webley with ammo he brought home with it, but it now has a broken leaf spring, the one that holds the stirrup closed. I’ve seen that there are places where I can get a replacement spring, but I’ve never taken the time to order one.
