    Very interesting object !

    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!

    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 .

    rare isprobably an understatement mate John did some great conversations, as does Lawrie..
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Great pics !
    Attended the first Kempton Fair and had a good day. Would love to visit again some day but the distance is a little off-putting just now.
