Does anyone in the UK make reproduction Webley Cases?

I have seen old Webley cases like this: https://i.imgur.com/E1HshZz.jpg

I know a real one would be impossible but would like to fit my old Webley Straight grip pistol to a retroduction of one of these cases? That is one thing I could import to this country. Thanks.

The labels are on for £5 the case is quite simple to make

Original rexine cases, as shown in your photograph, do occasionally come up for sale but tend to be expensive, however, the correct period case for your Mk.11 Target would be the earlier canvas and leather case, once again an original would be expensive, but good reproductions are available from a UK maker at much less cost.
I did see several of these for sale at the last Kempton arms and militaria fair, which isn't a lot of use to you I know.
Unfortunately the maker of these cases is not a BBS member, but I will contact him to see if he has any available, but if not, he will make one to order.
Having just spoken to the man concerned, I now know the Mk.11 Target will fit in the canvas and leather case.

Does the USA forbid the importation of old air pistols ?
Or is it us Quasi Europeans making life difficult for you?

Iv'e been unsuccessfully looking for an original post-war Webley rexine case for years now as I have a nice boxed Senior, correct pellet tin, oil can and instructions etc, but no case. I have come across a couple of correct original sets, but the asking price was prohibitive. As Troubledshooter says, the pre war Mk 1 and Mk2 Target were not sold cased and it wasn't until the pre-war Slant Grip model appeared that a canvas case was offered. As far as I'm aware, reproduction post-war cases are not available anywhere, but small cutlery cases can be quite easily modified to accept the pistol and accessories.

I am however fortunate enough to have an original canvas cased Senior with correct oil can, pellets, cleaning brush etc which took quite a long time and quite a bit of cash to finally source.

Good luck with finding a nice case to house your pistol.

Regards

Brian

Interesting didn’t pickup that the Mark 2 Target would never have been cased. I have made lots of cases for other guns, not sure what I will do. Professional or me? Just feel the Target deserves a better presentation?

Imagine that!

Well actually I am old enough to remember when airguns were not such dreadful things.

If you go to Tim Dyson's site, click on pistols- post 1939, the Senior is in one of Dave's cases. I tried to post a direct link but kept on getting a blank page.

I will PM his phone number.
