hey up david

i love original stuff, it's so well made (like a lot of german stuff)
your 50 looks lovely, very sleek and i can't blame you for keeping hold of it...
as for value, were it mine i wouldn't let it go for under £160 but like you if it was mine, i wouldn't really part with it, i let a beautiful mod 50 type 01 go for £60 and bitterly regretted it ever since

i have the same quandry with an old mk3 webley that i acquired today though my decision is much easier than yours as my mk3 is totally lacking blueing in any form, i think i'll strip it, polish all the parts and send it for the treatment


regards, john

afetr a lot of searching i emailed diana about the foresight and just got a reply.which shocked me.



Dear Mr. Smith,
sorry, but but this frontsight isn't available anymore.
Please take care that this version was manufactured before the II. world war.


i thought it was maybe the earliest 1960..
