Webley Air Pistol Batch Numbers

[Josie & John]

Hi John

3 pics here as requested. With regard to stampings, the 093 at muzzle, I assumed was a batch no. Could the 10 93 refer to batch no.93 of October of that year? as per scratched date, 25/10/49....a long shot!

Thanks Andy,
1093 is the batch or assembly number. I couldn't make out the scratched date in your pics. It is unclear if the batch/assembly numbers were a code or (more likely) ran consecutively until the batch was completed before starting from the beginning once again. I am hoping that as many collectors as possible supply letter codes and dates of Premiers, as that may provide a pattern. There have already been a couple of anomalies with the Premiers, so deciphering some kind of order is not all that easy.

Kind regards,

John
