Purple and Yellow Webley Flyer Booklet

[Josie & John]

Hi Gareth,

I remember these 'freebies' and I'll have a look for a spare the next time I go up in the loft. I know I provided Tim Dyson with some spare catalogues from this era a year or so ago, so if I don't find one, it may be worth contacting Tim to see if he had one among the batch he bought from me.

Kind regards,

John

Thank you in anticipation, John. I shall wait with all my bits and bobs suitably crossed.

Bit of a 'BUMP' back to the top, just in case Good Guy John doesn't have any luck ...

Sorry Gareth, I haven't braved the loft yet as it's freezing up there. Will let you know when I have been up.

Kind regards,

Hi Gareth,

Sorry it's taken me so long but I have finally looked through my archives and could only find one example of the little Webley booklet, which is part of a boxed set, so I don't really want to part with it.

BTW there are no prices printed in my booklet. There is a 'specs' chart included towards the centre, which has a space for prices but no actual figures were printed. Could it be they were left intentionally blank for a dealer or prospective purchaser to enter?

Sorry to disappoint but if I find or hear of another for sale, I'll let you know.

Kind regards,

John

Hi. Thanks for looking anyway. The first of these I had came with a Raider, and did actually have the RR prices factory printed in it, which incensed the shop proprietor I bought said rifle from, as they had to lower their price once I pointed this out to them (lol). The later one with my Longbow had no prices pre-printed in it, however, as reckon, by then, too many shops had raised their concerns regarding this? Atb anyway ... Anyone else able to help?

Interesting story Gareth and poetic justice!

See if Tim Dyson may have a copy - I know Tim sometimes brings quite a few folders of vintage paperwork to fairs with him and as I say, he bought some of my surplus late Webley items, so you may be in luck.

Kind regards,

John
