Webley Service Mk1

[Troubledshooter]

I've been offered one of these in average condition with the adjustment screw fitting. How much do these go for, in a very ball park figure?

Is it a Webley Mk.1 Rifle, or a Webley Service Mk.2 ?
To the best of my knowledge, there's no such beast as a 'Webley Service Mk.1'

Hi troubleshooter,
I dont wish to hijack the thread but that is my 482 on my dining room floor, did I send you the picture? My memory is not too good these days.
The gun is still in the same pristine condition, with approx 10 shots through it per month.
Regards Daveh

daveh, you should have PM.

It is a Mk1 air rifle and delighted at the cheap price!

Any other ideas?

[Troubledshooter]

What's the serial number ?
The prices obviously vary according to condition, but a starting figure for an average, original finished used rifle is around £450.
When you say it has the adjustment screw, is this projecting from the front of the trigger block, or underneath ?

Thanks!. Serial number I'll have to check, but its got the screw at the end of the trigger block.

That means it must be a fairly early one.
Is there any etching on it, as per these pictures:

The serial number is at the end of the right side of the trigger block, and should be repeated on the inside of the barrel pivot block, visible only when rifle is cocked.
