Help to date a Webley Mk3 series 3 .22 please.
Greetings all.
My first post in a new forum! I spend most of my time shooting rimfire, pistol caliber and black powder, but like most shooters, grew up 'plinking' in the back garden. In my case with a 1940's Diana that my dad had had since new (and still has).
During the first lock-down, I got a Weirauch HW30 and HW40 rifle and pistol "for the kids" (and to keep up my accuracy), and had great fun. Since that, I have acquired a series 3 Webley mk3 in .22, and a beautiful thing it is. It is surprisingly accurate for a 1950's airgun.
It is on serial number 14062, which I think will put t around mid 50's.
I was wondering if someone with Thrales book can look it up and maybe give me a little more accurate information please.
Is it better to keep these with their original patina, or should I consider a sympathetic restoration? The woodwork is in good condition, but seems a bit dull and there is some rubbing through of the bluing on the barrel, but no rust.
Thanks, and kind regards. Steve.
