I bought it s/h in 1972 and the seller who I knew had bought it new in 1971.

Its in very good original condition in the original box, I used it for NARPA 6 yd target shooting, until I saw sense and bought a FWB65 shortly after, but I have kept it as its what started my target shooting career.
Good shooting

Interesting provenance Robin. We have identified quite a few 'duplicate' Premiers with different letter codes on this thread.

NOTICE TO ALL
PLEASE ONLY INCLUDE DETAILS OF PREMIER AIR PISTOLS IF YOU ARE HAPPY TO SHARE THEM.
Ideally state the Series Code Letter, Date stamp from under left grip and Batch Number

THERE IS NO NEED TO INCLUDE DETAILS OF OTHER WEBLEY MODELS as unlike date coded Premiers, it is impossible to accurately glean sufficient information from post war Juniors, Seniors and Mark Is.

Thank you to all who have contributed to this thread.

Kind regards,

John
