That is nice.
I got offered a Scorpion a few months back along with a Buccaneer. £140 for the pair. Wasn't into pistols then (and always thought the buccaneer to be an ugly gun ) and turned both down.
Went back a few weeks ago after I got the pistol collecting bug - long gone.
PS: David, are you the lucky so and so with a display cabinet full of Webley pistols? I remember someone posting a pic of such a long while back.
Do you mean this one:
Webley Air Pistols
Not a lot of luck involved, just quite a few years of careful collecting.
The pic I remember is a glass cabinet like the ones people use to display ornaments in, chock full of pistols aligned neatly in a row, butt outwards. I may have you confused with another member.
But now that you mention it, yours is rather nice as well.
My own humble beginnings of a collection.
We all had to start somewhere, Steve, but nowadays it will cost you considerably more than it did when I started, just a few years ago , plus, I don't have a wife or sprogs to maintain, so have more useable income.
Getting back to theme of this thread, the one boxed example of the Scorpion I don't yet have, is the one that was issued in a larger box complete with a shoulder stock, a la 'Shadow'.
I haven't seen one offered for sale in years, but I live in hope.
I don't actually own a Scorpion but i've had a few in the past..
All I have now is a couple of BSA Magnum 240's and a few Webley overlevers..

o i like that one,found in a fishing basket!! and bought back to life thats what i like to hear its great to see the prime examples but like gggr i find it as interesting to bring them back from the brink or further if there is enough to rebuild and refurbish ;i always get a bit disappointed when any model is broken up as a donor ,o yes even a relum my loft is an intensive care for several such examples ,now scorpions of which there seems to be a fair quantity;once that trigger starts playing up the do it yourself surgery starts useualy leaving a disassembled corpse scattered around in frustration ;all those trigger components turning on a single pin engaging on a half round catch ,a recipe for a frequently untimely end.i havent quite mastered it yet ,but guy assures me that the simple grafting on of a third limb is all thats required to hold it all in place;all for a simple little safety catch .
