Webley Premier query

Hello all and thanks for looking. Is this a factory seal please. A lot bluer in hand than photo.

The sear looks worn so should it be dressed to sharp edge?

Hi Jules-----Got yourself a Webley pistol then? .The sears all go like that. When you think about it the curve of the piston has to sit in the curve. I not sure whether that sear is sintered or not, but generally, any grinding or filing of a sear is only a temporary fix.
I'm not sure about the seal---I'm sure I have seen blueish ones though.

Is the Premier a Mk1 (all Steel) or a Mk 2 (Steel and alloy)? The all steel ones are ok, but I am not a fan of the Mk2 2 as I've seen a couple with the sear pin in slightly the wrong place so the thing won't cock of function properly. Also, BlOODY SERRATED trigger pins going into alloy
Even if you use a dry moly on the piston/ cylinder, Webleys always seem better with some thickish oil in them . I think the factory used straight 40 engine oil. I use chainsaw oil as I have some here.

Not mine Guy. Belongs to my one time boss. Battle weary so doing a light resto' for now. All steel with brown fleck grips. Got a replacement
off e buy so need to get on with it. Thought you'd be on this rapid. Haven't forgotten your bits. See you soon. Jules

Yes, blue seals were used by the factory and this one looks 'old' and correct.

Nice pistols.

Kind regards,

John

Yep I have a couple with identical seals, they have a kind of mottled finish that reminds me of old Bakelite
