    Old Webley pistols

    Hi all,

    I am looking for an old Webley pistol, but can't for the life of me remember what one.

    The reason I am looking, I think it must be an age thing, but I am trying to find, just to have an own, the pistol that first go me hooked into air pistols. Some time ago, far far away…. I remember having a go on some Webley air pistol back in the mid 70's and have been trying to work out what it was (before the memory completely goes). I have looked at Webley Junior, Senior and a Premier, and to be honest it could have been any one of them…
    My question, does anyone know of a web page that has all the Webley pistols lined up with photos, details of dates etc so I can try help me compare them all..?

    Thanks

    Dave

    And I think I found it, I am sure it was a Premier and could have even been the MK2 as I seem to remember the way the thumb release worked and this one has the extra bit on the side.....

    The second one up (from the bottom) in the centre row in my pic is a mk2 premier, it has an aluminium frame much like the mk2 junior but has more bulk to it

    Hi Dave

    the bottom one is a Webley Junior Mk2 (ally frame but smaller than the premier Mk2)

    The silver one is a Premier Nickel...
