: I know "Lawrence" is one of Spielberg's favorite movies (and mine) but I was wondering if maybe Lawrence (played by Peter O'Toole)'s use of this gun possibly inspired the writers to give it to Indy?

I doubt it. The Webley only appeared in scripts of the writer of Last Crusade and his following novels. It was picked up later by other writers to try and keep continuity in the series, but the Webley was just an admitted favorite revolver of that particular writer and nothing else. Regards.
