Will post pics which it arrives, got three day inspection so hope is it is as good as the pics. Also interesting to me that this is that rare instance where being in the US actually is an advantage to collecting a UK airgun. Most of the time I look at the guns offered here and just get depressed. Lol
The trouble is you will probably want to find the other Stoeger Webleys, which can be challenging as one is never enough! I found the Stoeger marked Junior the hardest to find but the hardest of all must be the slant gripped Senior. Grips are the same for UK and US spec pistols other than the Stoeger sold examples carry Stoeger markings.

I hope the pistol you are looking to buy lives up to expectations and look forward to seeing images in due course as I am a real fan of these 'specials'.

Kind regards,

John
