    The mk2 premier is bigger than the Senior the all steel premier is the same size as the Senior but have the trigger adjustment screw which the Seniors did not have but then people will tell you that the still older straight grip ones did have the adjustment screw I think.
    Thanks for the info Beagle, much appreciated,Paul.

    It is indeed a Mk2 Premier. Production was from 1975 to 1977, and though they are not as shiny as the Senior in my opinion they do handle better. If you keep a look out on that certain internet auction site, you may find some of the labels that fit in the vacant cartouche. Or maybe someone on the forum has some spares?

    Its great that you're happy with it, and I think the mk2 Premier is a nice, rare, short-production model to have.

    But, a dealer selling it as a Senior?? Makes me wonder if they sent the wrong gun

    Hi Rickenbacker, i think they just made a mistake by calling it a senior as the ticket attached to it had serial num +webley senior marked on it.It is certainly the gun as advertised, and as i say, very happy with it,regards,Paul.
