Any chance of a picture, if not on here, then by email ?
Another late night alcohol fueled forage on the net produced a custom made Webley pistol box, obviously for a pre-war straight grip I assumed it was for a Junior tin plate, however, it is for a MK1 but all my MK1s have overhang barrels.
So, has anyone seen a short barreled Mk1 or did the maker of the box a. cut down the normal barrel or b. fitted a Junior (smooth bore) barrel maybe for use with darts (though the cut out takes a Webley pellet tin)?
It is quite well made though the lid has warped over the years and if I can't find a gun to fit it it will be up for sale at £25.00 (ish).

Stupid me, I should have included it with my first post, sorry people.

Could it be for an Abbas Major or another make?

Nope, but for the missing barrel overhang cut out it fits snugly. Looking at the books (and a 1939 sales leaflet) I wonder if it was for one of the last straight grip MK1s that got given a short, slope grip barrel, after all some of the slope grip pre-war MK1s got the overhang barrel????????
