    I emailed my Webley contact who was involved with the Nemesis SSP at time of production, and he is unaware of any such case produced for the Nemesis.

    In that case it's a puzzle still. I have a great respect for you and your sources David. I'm going to get the intermals profile foamed and put a pair (Tempest/Hurricane) in it as I have nothing Webley that is later. I'm now beginning to wonder whether it's Alecto

    It sounds like it could well be an Alecto Case if it has a recessed handle and two large fold down catches on the front.

    here are a few photographs of the 'Flap' case containing a Nemesis SSP, and the top of the Alecto case:

    Thank you David. It's the bottom case. Same badge and has double catch locking system. Were they sold with the pistol or as an extra please?

    They were supplied with the pistol when they first came out, and they still are on the Mk.5, so why anyone would separate their Alecto from the case I don't know, unless they've knackered their Alecto.

    If anyone has a 'Flap' case as shown in Post #11, of either size that they no longer use, I could be interested in acquiring it.
    The one shown was originally made to take the Hurricane, and a slightly smaller one was made to take the Tempest.
    As the later Nemesis were sold in brown card boxes originally intended for the Hurricane, with very slightly modified styrene inserts, they fit the Hurricane 'Flap' box as illustrated.
    Please contact by PM.
