Webley Air Pistol Batch Numbers

[Josie & John]

Any more?

Yes, a pair from Holland but both bought separately in Sweden: Mk1 188 and Senior 684
A good initiative that might shed some light on a topic that leaves me clueless sofar.

Thank you Mike.

I recorded some notes when I spoke with Webley's former Works Manager the late Tom Cooper in 1997 but I did not press him on the logic behind batch or Assembly numbers. I now wish I had done as the only notes relating to this aspect I made were around tracing individual assemblers from the numbers, should a quality control issue be discovered. Tom was a fascinating man to talk to and there is so much more that I wish I had asked on that and several subsequent occasions.

Kind regards,

John
