    Webley museum auction catalogue question

    Anyone happens to still have the auction catalogue of the auction of the Webley museum airguns?
    Looking for the description of the airrifle lot 1065 (I believe its this nr its a bit blurry on the pic)
    It looks like a tracker/viscount kinda rifle, with the black stock.
    But it is said to be some kinda prototype??

    ATB,

    Item No.1065 is described as a Webley Osprey '600' .22 P/Type, and doesn't look like the rifle in your photograph.

    It looks more like item 1066, which is described as a Webley Stingray Sidelever .22 S/No. 21638 Concept P/Type.

    Actually looks like a Webley Osprey with experimental barrel weight.

    Hi Yana,

    The Stingray was featured on the cover of Airgunner or Airgun World several decades ago but never went into production. From memory, it was Viscount with a bipod.

    Kind regards,

    John

    Thanks all for the help.
    So it may be an Osprey '600' (whatever the 600 stands for??) p/type or a stingray p/type.
    The SN of the stingray sidelever checks out.
    John, or anyone, has a pic of that old Airgunner/AGW it was featured on?

    I have it Yana but will need to find the correct issue among the hundreds in my library. My biggest problem is I do not have anything indexed and my memory has never been my strongest trait.

    Kind regards,
