    mk3

    Can you see serial number on underside of cocking lever that will date it.Fluted fore end and round serrated tap date it to early 1950s.mk3.

    Hi,

    Chris Thrales book states that Series 3 Mk3s started production in 1949 starting with Ser No 6001. Consequently, I would suggest your rifle would have been made in late 1949 or early 1950. The rifle would have originally had a nice blued finish, so I would have thought a to refinish it from this condition would not be cost effective.

    Regards

    Brian

    Cool

    They're my favourite Webley rifle

    I'm pretty sure yours could be refurbished and would make a handsome rifle

    As is tho' it's complete I'd say £50 at best. However if you are hands on and are attached to it then restore it yourself. You'll love it.
    Plenty of help on here/there including re blue which is a possible.

    Hello,

    I too would be somewhere in the £40-£60 region as the basis for a restoration project. As stated in an earlier reply, I don't believe a professional refinish would be cost effective, but you could tidy it up yourself and either sell it or keep it.

    I get these in almost on a weekly basis for renovation but never had one quite as bad. If you want to make money from it you will get more from selling as parts if you clean them up as you go.
