Super. Am a big fan of the Vulcan, as imho, notwithstanding the use of a roll pin at the breech pivot instead of a breech bolt so as to save production pennies (why oh why did Webley do that ???
), the Vulcan, particularly the Mk.I, was a real land mark air rifle, not only for Webley & Scott, but for British air guns, as straight from the box, the Vulcan could muster upwards of 11ft.lb unfettled.
During the launch of the Webley & Scott Vulcan (first models weren't referred to as the Mk.I until the Mk.II went into production three years later), the factory produced 110
Special Edition versions wearing high-grade walnut stocks, and with gold plated trigger and safety catch levers.
So as not to be confused with the other walnut versions of the Vulcan that Webley were also producing as an up-market mass produced up-grade item at that time, these
Special Edition Vulcans (oft referred to as
The Vulcan SE), were given a fresh serial number range starting with a nine (9).
So if you are shown an alleged Vulcan
SE check the serial number, because if it doesn't start with a nine (9), it is not one of the 110 that Webley & Scott produced, merely a doppelgänger, most likely cobbled together around one of the aforementioned run of the mill walnut Vulcans ...
Oh, by the way, I own an authentic Webley & Scott Vulcan
Special Edition one of 110 in .22 and its boxed in its original box, with all the original bits and pieces it came with when new, too (gloat boast gloat
) ...
