Webley Air Pistol Batch Numbers

[hedgehog1]

Bought from new in 1976 , I have a Webley Premier Mk2 ,.22, Serial # 111 ,stamped on front RHS of barrel axis block that sits inside compression tube . In pristine nick ,hardly been shot. This would , I think, make it your earliest on the database . Hope this is of use.Photos can be provided.

Thank you for your post and kind offer of photos.

The Premiers were not serial but batch numbered, as has been discussed near the start of this thread. Unfortunately the Premier Mk 2 did not appear to have been date coded and it is not possible to date a specific pistol from the batch number alone. The Mk 2 was only made for a short period of time but there are differences to look out for, which point to early or late examples; such as the presence or not of a barrel shroud behind the muzzle. The knurling on the barrels differed too.

Kind Regards,

John
