Webley Junior question

[Odjick29]

Looking at picking one of these up but when I have been on gunstar I see a few have the 'two tone plumb finish' to the frame and other appear standard blue finish. I was wondering if the standard blued guns are plumb underneath or is this a specific manufacturing thing where guns from a certain period had this two-tone effect.
I have to admit the plumb finish guns look beautiful but are they worth the extra asking price they seem to command?
Thanks in advance, Jon.

Hi,
The two-tone 'plum' framed Juniors are a result of the effects over time of blueing salts on the steel frame casting.This was not intended,but is over time the resulting 'finish'.They do look attractive as a result and I have two one I paid £50 for in average condition and the other £70 in VGC. I would be vary wary of G*****r prices as they are very often speculative and particularly JCM.

Thanks for the quick reply. Wow, £70 for a vgc is considerably less than I have seen on any other advertisment, well done that man! I will keep my eyes peeled for a nice example, thanks for the guide prices, you have stopped me spending too much!
