    It didn't cock as such Mick.
    When the trigger was pulled, the small central bar/shaft, with the roughened end went backwards, and forwards when the trigger was released. The person who had it thought it was a flint gas lighter. Looked professionally made.

    Very interesting object !

    As has been said, a good Fair again by Binners and his good lady, and the weather helped by staying dry, well it was for as long as I was there.

    Some excellent displays of guns and militaria as we have come to expect from this Fair.

    I purchased a lovely Light Pattern which I purchased solely for my Bell Target shooting.

    If it wasn't for the long journey, 392 miles round trip for me, I would make it to them all.

    Thanks again to Liz and Pete, it was very nice to meet you both again and of course the BBS members I bumped into.

    Cheers

    Couldn’t make this one due to other commitments but great to see the photos
    Looks like another great achievement by ‘Team Binners’

    Hi Lakey, many thanks for the reply. l just couldn't figure it out. it make sense now,with the screw as the foresight to take the flint. more than likely made by someone in the casting line who had a interest in Webley air pistols. something for the serious Webley collector.

    Super photos as usual John pity the price labels were all turned over on the first lot.
    That short barrel LP53 would be interesting to cock!

    BTW how's the book coming along?

    Must admit I don't tend to look at the price tickets when I take photos and sometimes I even place them under the pistol to prevent them spoiling the framed shot!

    Book draft is complete with just a few tweaks to the cover to go before I have a proof copy printed. No doubt I'll find some silly errors at the next read through.

    Kind regards,

    John
    Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

    Kempton LP53k

    The walther LP53 is actually an LP53K ( Kurtz short ) and is a John Walker co2 conversion which are quite rare .
