Webley Senior Valuation please..

[OLD JUD]

Hi Chaps,

Could you help me with the age and approximate value of a Webley Senior please?

This is a .22 Senior, with original box, and remaining pellets.
Serial number (On muzzle end of cylinder, and under left grip) 2235.
It's works just fine (Less than a full tin of pellets through it) bluing is pretty good apart from some very minor and light pitting on right side of cylinder, and a tiny chip off the bottom edges of both grips.

BTW, the price label reads....'£7/5/6d' (Seven pounds five shillings and sixpence.)

Some photo's, the photo's show what is left of the original 500 pellets.

No one?

I'd have thought about £185 to sell quite fast.....

This is the post-war model and the box shown was introduced in 1958, so this dates it between 1958 and 1964. The number is a batch number rather than a true Serial Number. The pellet tin shown is a collectors item and I have seen this type sell for £30 or much more on the bay depending on condition. The gun looks to be in very nice condition, but really needs to be seen for an accurate valuation. As a set I would value it at £240 min. but I imagine other collectors will have their own views.

...... Great big bloomin' ditto.

Crikey Guys! I didn't think it would be worth that much, so in the region of £240 to include the pellet tin.
That leaves me with the dilemma of 'Should i sell/swop or should i keep'? I'm not really in to springers, i'm more of a PCP man, but it is a rather nice gun.
Guess i'll have to have a little ponder on this one.
Thanks for your advice.

Lovely pistol. I saw a similar boxed Senior in a near perfect box sell for £185 at the recent Bisley Phoenix fair. That was without the round orange tin you have, mind you, so the valuation of £240 is not going to be too wide of the mark.

Kind regards,

John
