    No date - it has "C67" on the bottom left.

    As it includes the pre-war Junior and has a page mentioning the 1937 Firearms Act I'd say 1938/9.

    C67 January 1939 according to my copy.

    I have produced a reproduction of same, slightly smaller than the original but printed both sides and stitched. I did consider offering it on here if there was enough interest (there would have to be it is time consuming to produce).

    Mine came in the box of a fine example of a pre war slope grip Senior.

    Interesting - but not sure how you got that from your copy - could you explain to this idiot please?

    I suspect this C67 may be from mid to late 1937, as the price for the Service Mk.2 on the inside rear cover has been over stickered @ £4/15/-, the same price as listed in the January 1938 C67, with the original price on my copy showing through as £4/10/-, but the June 1937 revised price was listed as £4/4/-.
    It's a pity Webley didn't date all their catalogues of the period, as I have several undated ones
