Webley Pistol Valuations Please!

[Paddy_SP]

As per the thread title, I'd like to ask what the esteemed members of the BBS would consider to be fair prices for the following Webley pistols:

Junior:
An excellent piece, Batch 667, .177!

Junior:
This .177 Junior pistol was bought in Truro in the 1960's by the father of the man I bought it from - he wanted it to shoot the mice in his holiday cottage in Cornwall. The note with it says that he never actually used it for this, so I assume it must have been a 'good reason' excuse to his missus...

It is Batch No. 24, Inspection stamp 'E', No. 1071, 1958-73 series, made in late 1960s. Maddock frame.

A beautiful pistol, this .177 Mark 1 is c1934, from the 1925-1938 series. It is serial number 38969, maker mark 'Birmingham' only, patents as per p189 of Hiller.

Tempest:
A very nice piece that has barely been fired. The only let-down is that (like so many Webleys) the writing on the right-hand side has been the victim of contact with the oil-contaminated box packing.

Please note - these are currently being held back for someone who has been waiting a long time for them. Should they not sell, I will say so on here, but until then, please don't PM me asking to buy them...
