The Webley - Stoeger “Coming to America” Case

[45flint]

In finishing my casing of the Stoeger Webley Senior, I did get two coins. Ended up focusing on getting the same size coin with a pleasing image. I first chose the 1932 English Penny because given my serial number that was probably when it was made. The Penny had a pleasing figure of Britannica which seemed appropriate. Thought I would match it with the same size US coin which is a silver half dollar called the Walking Liberty. The two lady’s face each other and “Miss Liberty” seems to be welcoming “Miss Brit”. Unfortunately when trying to get a matching 1932 I found during the first several years of the Depression no coins were minted. (Makes you wonder who could afford these guns?) So it is a 1934 which is still within the dates these were made. Not sure I will actually mount the coins in the case or not but it was fun.

You have put together a nice little nostalgic set there. Very tasteful.

I like the coin idea.
Good way to remember your make date.
Now to find some old pennies.

Old British penny’s are pretty cheap on The Bay over here.

lt rather fills in that blank space under the pistol, and l like the idear of the face to face with the dates showing. something a bit different.

An English Penny Such a pistol deserves at least a half sovereign.
