Dating a Webley Senior via serial number

[Abasmajor]

Hi,

Just to add that the knurling on the barrel doesn't go beyond the cocking-link shoe, so definitely a 1950's barrel. From my limited experience, it would appear to be a bit of a mix and match with a fairly crude attempt to make it look pre-war for some unknown reason. I can't imagine any circumstances whereby Webley would ever let such a pistol leave the factory. The batch number stamped at the front also clearly indicates that this is a post-war pistol for as we all know, this stamping replaced the pre-war Ser No system after the war.

Regards

Brian
