Small amount of blistering on front barrel/cylinder bung... Whatever its called...

I'm not really a fan of the later Premier models, but they are still a lot better than the later Mk2 models. The box and accessories will certainly add to the value, so for a private sale I would estimate £200-£250 would be realistic for somebody looking for one.
This may seem a bit mean, but as I say I'm not a big fan of Premiers after the D Series.

Good luck with the sale should you decide to take that course of action.

Since it is the Suncorite (black epoxy paint) version in the later mk2 box, I reckon it will be hard to value it over 200 pounds. The blued versions in the earlier type box are commanding higher prices. Drawback of this finish is that it is very difficult to touch up when it is damaged.

Agree. Maybe prices have risen recently, and I may well be wrong, but I’d have said more like £170.

£200 is a definite psychological price point, and you can get a lot of nice stuff (including other Webley pistols) for that or less

£180 me thinks. Mach 1.5

The beauty of Webley Premiers is there are lots of variations to collect - probably more than with any other Webley pistol. This finish is rarely seen and the pictures show a nice complete set. As Dutch says, the finish is hard to touch up but this one appears mostly intact, other than wear around the muzzle, which can be cleaned up. I tend to agree with the £170 - £180 price range but personally think it ought to be worth more.
