Webley

[Vic Thompson]

Too true Peter, you took the words right out of my mouth. I'm sure that whilst there are plenty of good Webley Air Pistols out there, apart from Dealers most people part with them infrequently and reluctantly. Consequently (again in my opinion), they generally fetch a good price as demand exceeds supply and a lot of collectors know how hard they are to come by and price accordingly. At Kempton in particular (and at other Arms Fairs to maybe a lesser extent) there will be a mix of both dealers and private individuals with a range of Webley Air Pistols in various states of originality and "newness" for a whole range of prices, usually allowing for a choice of preferred purchase in most resonable budget ranges. It's obviously a bit of a trek for you but you might be able to buy four of five Pistols in one fell swoop and short circuit your searching time. Also (although this might not be of too much interest to you), there's often a range of spare parts available which means that if you come across a good item with a damaged removeable parts (Grips, Barrel and Stirrup Latch in particular) sometimes it's worth buying it knowing that spares could well be available at the next Kempton.

I'll be there looking for a 0.177 Premier and have high hopes of finding one (or six or seven if the price is right).

Many thanks for your reply!
have managed to buy a mintish Senior, for a good price,whatever that is?
The linkages are tight, and spring is strong, look of the the draw?
Looking for one in similar cdn, time is not an issue, quality is!
Willing to pay the going price, not a dealers price!
Kindest Regards
