Webley Mk2 Junior.

Nice grips as well as a fine example of a Webley Junior MKII

They look sooooo much better than the plastic grips.

Must agree, this is a real neat looking pistol with the after market nice grips.

For me, wooden grips transform the appearance of these alloy framed Webley pistols although never approaching the overall quality of the steel framed models. I still don't understand why Webley replaced the nice wood grips on the very first pre-war Webley Juniors with the unattractive pressed steel grips before eventually settling on the Bakelite material as their material of choice for future pistols.
I could understand the choice if they were forced to make changes to reduce production costs, but this was a time when seemingly no expense was spared to produce products of extremely high quality with little regard to the associated higher production costs.

A couple more Webley pistols that have had the synthetic grips replaced.
