    A bit of bucket maths.....
    24000 approx made, 1700 in 1976 made with old barrel, so I’d say around March 1976 for new barrel?
    Figures from Bruce’s book, pages 138 and 140.

    And it isn't a Webley MkII. It's a Webley Premier MkII. Big difference. Not just in style, but in quality and value as well.
