Complete re-blue, engraved trigger guard and tune up...this is the bit you make like? ser no. 17738. Whats it worth in todays market? as i may sell due to my growing webley venom collection.

Many thanks for the help and advice.

pictures will help ( although i never give valuations but someone will )
i have three with lower serial numbers than yours so dont think its that old
dont think the re blue will add anything to the value though
try get pics up

I've seen and held this gun - its beautiful!

The rebluing is excellent and I don't believe it should detract from the value - its not like e.g an Airsporter where the etching is lost.

I'd love to say its worth a £100 and hope to be first to the button when it comes on sale, but I suspect it will be somewhat more than that!!!!!!

I sold a vgc tuned (but not V-Mac tuned) FWB 124 fitted with a Theoben mod for £275 plus post a while back, so as this is a V-Mac, although very difficult to value without photos, I would say the above sounds as if it should be worth around the £300/325 mark (plus post) all day long.

... Yep. I set the deal up for him ... Charles me 'ol chum. Looking at Mally's link, it seems you were done !!!

Just seen and shot this today and its absolutely beautiful!
Metal work is a deep rich Black, complete with open sights, all writing is still visible, engraving is a nice touch too, if it was a tad heavier for me I would have walked away with it today

Top guy to deal with, and a very lucky man to own that Mach 1.5 WOW!!!

(By the way its fired 6 Pellets now)

All the Best

A mint in box or not FWB Sport is worth £250 give or take. So give us some reason why its worth more. Picture

Like all these valuations without a picture who knows? Valuations without pictures, or links to them, should be banned as its a waste of everyones time.

[tobs74]

ooops!
Have amended my post.

Meant with the best of intentions, just wanted to say what a nice rifle this was, as i said if it was heavier, he wouldn't be needing a valuation as I would have probably gone home with it.

I wouldn't have questioned if he had asked £300 for it, shoots and looks lovely.

dave,

I would agree - £200 - £ 250 in the current market, I paid £ 180 (for my mint Mk 1 .22 and I do mean mint) 4 years ago.

Hope this helps
