It looks like third version one so post 1935.
I'd say £300 if it is all there.

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
The trigger block serial number has either been omitted at time of manufacture, or the trigger block has been replaced at some time.
I have, very occasionally, found this before, and I know of one boxed example that has obviously been numbered by other than Webley, as the font and spacing used are definitely not Webley.
Slug-Gun may have more information on this, but I know of no other reasons.
The rifle in question appears to be a complete good used example, with very little, if any, original finish remaining.
The crack on the underside of the stock is a fairly common occurrence, and is caused by moisture on the stock locating peg causing it to rust and expand, thus splitting the stock.
I would estimate it's value at £250 - £300
thanks again chaps I'm pleased my thread generated such interest.
I've learnt somemore about my delightful airgun
