BSA and Webley both always seemed to cheap skate on getting it right in those days. So did so much of our industry. However, the talent was and is there and British Companies are at the forefront of so much stuff today. Gone are the shackles of yesteryear. Allowed to get on with it there are great rifles made here today. Great cars too.

£550 or so should find a buyer. It will either fly off the shelf or take a while. Depends if you are in a hurry. At the end of the day £500 is proper money and people take their time to jump even when they know they just have to have it.

Good luck with the sale.
