    Webley Mk.1 Air Rifle Instruction Booklet.

    These seem to have an even lower survival rate than the rifle itself, so who would like to estimate their value ?

    Cornell do quite a few good reproduction booklets/manuals, but there's nothing like the real thing.
    The full Webley Mk.1 Air Rifle booklet is on my sig. site.

    If it is Webley related, then it will be expensive........I have seen a few oil cans reach dizzy heights in the past year, and point of sale posters and placards also go for huge amounts in comparison to other marques.......are they really that rare, or are Webley chaps the well heeled "upper crust" of the collecting world (Binners excepted).

    Webley were big, famous and now gone..... Always preferred their rifles to BSA, and clealry other people think the same way. Meorabilia is ging to get more and more popular. You certainly don't see much BSA ephemera on sale. Shame their guns did not sell as well when they made them.

    I s'pose the value will depend on how many people out there have a Webley Mk1 rifle sitting in its original box - or Webley luxury case - complete with contemporary pellet boxes and oil can, needing only a Mk1 instruction booklet to finish the set.

    But seriously, it must be worth quite a bit to people who specialise in Webley memorabilia. I know a bloke who probably has a better idea than almost anyone about the value. Look into the mirror, David, and repeat after me...
