    "Mint" Mk1 pistol!

    One of the most obvious misuses of the word "mint" that I can recall: pre-WW2 MK1 pistol with post-WW2 barrel.

    In any case, the body has lots of tiny bumps etc, and other signs of use.

    A muddle-up?

    The serial number quoted in the description appears to differ from that shown on the image.
    ...hang on, stock number not serial number! My muddle-up!

    JCM often use the ambiguous wording "great condition" to describe a gun!The level of subjectivity then available used unashamedly in their favour of course.

    Another description that confuses me is: 'excellent condition for age'

    I know JC is expensive, but at least they are available from him. Many people aren't prepared to wait until a cheaper one comes up on here, or are unaware of this and similar websites. We should consider ourselves lucky that we have this Forum on which to "talk" and buy/sell our guns etc.

    On that well known auction site, from the same source, is an orange Webley pellet tin .22 250 contents (inc)
    with a Birmingham 21 address. So, I imagine quite late.

    At the moment with 3 days to go it's at £72 with 30 bids from 6 bidders (all private)!

    As it's the scarce 250 tin, expect it to go even higher.
