    Webley? ABS hard case

    I've just bought a BSA Scorpion privately and it was delivered yesterday by RM. It's in a reasonably good quality ABS Hard case that has Webley embossed on it. Just the name, no trademark or 'Webley and Scott'. The lining has obviously been carved up to fit the Scorpion. I've never seen one before and Gordon Bruce doesn't mention anything like.
    The only photos I can find on the net of similar boxes are fitted for the Alecto pistol. So what have I got? is it standard or an extra for something later than the Bruce publication date?

    Help please.

    Sorted now thankyou.

    It's a case supplied in the late 1990s for a Nemesis pistol.

    A photograph would be appreciated as I can find no mention of any such case supplied for the original Nemesis SSP.

    I have a Nemesis SSP in a plastic flapped Webley case originally sold for the Hurricane, with a slightly smaller version supplied for the Tempest, as the later Nemesis SSP of the time were supplied in Hurricane boxes after the clam shell packages were exhausted, with a slightly modified styrene inner, some having an original Nemesis SSP label affixed to the lid, therefore this case would also fit the original Nemesis SSP.

    I have several Webley branded soft cases that are Nemesis sized but am unaware of a hard case intended for the pistol, so am intrigued in seeing this one as well as an original advert that confirms the case was intended for the Nemesis.

    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.
