I have both in original fitted card board Webley boxes complete with literature & Webley pellets. As new. Had 8/9at one time now sold the rest to discerning collectors. On the BSA subject i also have two boxed 240 magnum pistols in .177 &.22 cal. These must be getting sought after in good condition now.
Got Hurris in both, & a Tempest in .177. Been thinking about one in .22, so you are not alone.

Allways on the lookout for such lovely items as those cases, not been lucky yet. But i have two of the canvas type fitted cases which are reproduction ones superbly made by Dave Lewis if you know him. also a black leather type complete with senior which could be original.Pictures are on page 89 of Gordon Bruce book of Webley pistols.

Yes, I do know Dave Lewis and have seen some of his reproductions. I'm not sure if he's replicated the later black rexine covered cases such as you describe, so yours could well be original and worth as much as an original Webley canvas and leather case.
The plastic case I've shown with the Tempest was not of the same construction as the earlier cases, which, I suspect, is why not that many were sold.
The one I've pictured is now in someone else's collection, but I still have one with a Nemesis in it which I will photograph in due course, and still have an original black lid Tempest box complete with pistol and outer sleeve. I've also still got a Tempest in the later brown cardboard box.
