    B1657 was made during the week ending 14.2.1973, and assembled by 'Dave'.
    A2046 was made during the week ending 19.2.1967 OR 6.6.1970 - would have to know exact spec to tell which.
    Buy my book and you can look it all up yourself?

    Certainly: The book is called "WEBLEY AIR RIFLES 1925 - 2005" by Christopher Thrale.
    Published price £70 but generally available for less. Now sold out at the publishers but many still available with traders.
    Reprint with early errors removed in hand.

    Thanks for the info . I'm a self employed sparky so the book will have to wait !!
