    Vintage Airgun Literature

    Hi fellow collectors. Does anyone have any original vintage literature relating to Webley Service air rifle or Webley pistols of the period 1930s to 1950s for sale? I was told that a flyer featuring the Service air rifle was sold on that E auction site a few weeks ago but I missed it. Also still looking for a peep sight for a 2nd series service. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.
