    A great purchase Paul, good skittles. I adore my Mk.II Premier .177 pistol (in similar condition I may ad), as it is lovely to shoot (nicer than my Senior .177 and nicer than my Tempest .177 to shoot truth be told), so enjoy.

    Nice pistol - but its not a MK II (they were alloy) its a steel MK I - the very last batch with the name indent and that barrel. It also happens to be the pinnacle of webley pistols in my opinion.

    On closer inspection (on iPad not iPhone) indeed it is (nice and a late steel Prem). Wouldn't mind one of these myself?

    If you remove the left grip the date should be stamped on the frame
