    webley pellets

    Item 192952860440 on the bay

    The paper label doesn't look quite right to me, what does anyone else think?

    The seller has some tins of wasps that look a little too good as well.

    This looks like a 'Temporary Packaging' box from the late 1940s. What makes you think it does not look right?

    Kind regards,

    Hi John

    Perhaps I am just an old cynic but I would be looking closely for signs of modern photocopying before I paid over £100 for a paper box. It does look very fresh.

    Looks like an original bit of temporary Webley packaging to me too.

    Here is a picture of a couple of rarer examples of .25 calibre packaging owned by a friend of mine
