[appinpar68]

Does anyone know anything about brass grips that were available for the Senior/MK1 pistols ?

there is a listing on that Auction site for a pair

150967272075


Never heard of them myself and there is no mention of them being available in Bruce's webley book

they are not brass they look bronze to me
smeltered bronze looking at the rear of them and the paterna
will probably sell for a small fortune

Crumbs!!

I could have made loads of them at my works, We used to make cannons, knives, ash trays, guns in fact all sorts when we didn't have a gaffer on!!!

Can't do owt now as they've installed cameras to spy on us now

The cameras were installed for health and safety purposes but loads of people have been done for smoking where the shouldn't

Not me btw, I don't smoke but I dislike being lied to

If you're thinking of bidding for these grips, I wouldn't bother if I were you. I owned a pair just like them, probably made by the same person. But they were so heavy they made the pistol unbalanced and unpleasant to use. A gimmick, basically.

I suppose you could pocket out the backs carefully to reduce the weight if you had the patience and time,

But imagine if you got the whole pistol brass plated as well

Totally agree with the above most unsuitable material for Pistol grips.
However if you are set on a pair I am sure Pete at Milbro would cast you a set pistol grips in Alloy,Bronze or Brass if you have the original grips.

Excellent for self defence...dont bother firing the pistol at your attacker just plop him over the head with the (heavier) collectable!

I remembered about these and would still like a set.
Yes--they probably do upset the balance of the gun and they would be bloody uncomfortable to shoot with on a cold day---------but they would enhance the "clubability" and the Webley pistols ability to deliver blunt force trauma

Does anyone ave a set?

I have a set of the Aluminium ones, Seen quite a few sets over the years in brass or ali with and without the Webley name. Had a set of the brass one once and quite heavy compared to the ali ones, Col.

Wow! I can't even recall replying on this 14 year old thread!!

I’ve had a pair of these for quite a few years now Guy. I do vaguely recall reading some of the original threads on these grips.

No reason why you couldn't cast these grips in urethane casting resin, with Brass powder added. With the correct percentage of Brass powder added you can then polish them up in a similar fashion to metal, but would be half the weight. I did an article in one of Danny's fabulous magazines , which shows the technique in detail. I was casting in black, but using metal powders is just a variation in the same technique.
