Hi everybody, up to now we have met up and I have given my honest opinion to Greywolf. The Meteor is a nice honest mark1, showing signs of use, with a little surface damage to the stock, nothing that can't be fixed, no cracks or splits. The metalwork is in fairly good condition, no deep rust, in fact it would probably take a re-blue very well if required. I have gone over it with wire wool and oil and it is sound considering, still showing the Meteor etching on the cylinder. It has the original back sight which has never been used as it has a period Japanese 4x15 scope fitted. It cocked and fired very smoothly albeit only showing 6.3ft lbs on the Chrony. It is a .177 and we were both surprised at its accuracy after all the non use. It would obviously benefit from a service, but in my opinion a nice gun. Pictures are available further back in this thread. As for value, I would think, considering it's all there that around £100 would be a good starting point, what do you think? Is that too optimistic?
The Webley Premier is in very good condition, it is a .22, and an F series, the last made before going over to the lighter frame. This also could do with a service, but still cocks and fires very smoothly, but down on power. This is also shown in the previous pictures in this thread. As for value, looking through the Internet, they vary, up to £200 or more! Obviously that would be boxed and in pristine condition! I think about £150, or again , is this too optimistic?
I know they are only worth what anyone is prepared to pay, but as a starting point does anyone have a point of view on these suggestions?
I will re- photograph them if necessary and e-mail to anyone who is interested in seeing more detailed shots. Many thanks for reading this, Dave
