Thank you Ali D,

Troubledshooter provided me with details of your pistol - I hadn't made reference to you in order to preserve confidentiality.

Were the grips of the coarser extended type or standard Junior versions?

Kind regards,

John

Hi, My Junior batch numbers are as follows


107 Mk2
164
423 extended courser type grips
593 extended courser type grips
780

Its interesting to note that the higher numbers (apart from one) are the earliest guns.

Regards,
Ken

Resurrecting this.

Just acquired post-war Mark I. Batch 126 on front and under grip. "Birmingham 4" address (pre-58), and blued trigger, which the Bruce book suggests means it is early post-WW2, I think.

Another couple of Webley pistols have joined my family. Bought a slightly beaten up Senior, 1950's vintage with a missing rear sight and smashed breech seal, very weak spring. In .22" with nice clean rifling. Batch 927. I'll be restoring it soon and making a new rear sight.

And my little brother wandered into an antiques shop on his lunch break last month one sunny Friday and first thing jumping to his eye was a nearly pristine Mark 1 from a bit earlier, probably late 1940's. Asking price was just $99 Canadian... but he offered $85 and the nice lady sold it for that. Heck of a bargain. The trigger is so nicely adjusted. Batch 294. In .177" with clean rifling and a tolerable crown. Weak, so I put a new flat wire mainspring in it and reversed the original leather breech seal, oiled that well, tested it at about 450fps with 7gr wadcutters.

Thanks David.

Ironically the only really useful information that may be gleaned from this thread concerns the Premier. Would you mind telling me the date stamp of your #276? It should be under the left side grip.

Kind regards,

John
