Hi Mark, not just being polite but think that looks fantastic -- really like it and think it a great way to give an otherwise tired pistol a new lease of life . May even get one done myself someday (been thinking about it for a year or so). As to value, well it won't be as high as the similarly aged v-vgc standard MkI that I sold last Easter time (£85 plus post), but imco should be worth an easy £60 plus post all day long . Atb and thanks for showing us: Gareth W-B.

that looks very very nice,iv'e got a tired old webley of my own but the burning question is how much did it cost to get it to that finish? if you don't mind me asking that is, regards grez.

Hi,it cost me nothing a very good friend of mine owns and runs a local chroming company,i did him a favour and he polished and plated the webley in return,the company is Quality Chrome in Hull run by to local lads brilliant to deal with and good prices,if you wanted one doing he reckons £45 to £50 depending on condition thats stripped,cleaned,polished and plated,if you need to contact them tel num is 01482 589838 ask for Karl or Keith,thanks Mark.

... Now as that includes all the prep (and hopefully reassembly after), as a price that isn't too bad, isn't too bad at all .... hmmm .

Oops, my mistake on interppretation of "stripped" . Still keen prices though, and if their work can satisfy the exacting standards of both the Scooter Boy and Biker fraternity, then their work must be very good indeed, as those two groups expect nowt but the very best (and quite right too ).

Er, read the comments, not seen a 'firm' valuation but if it is up for sale I am very interested.

How does the plating affect the rifling inside the barrel? Is it plugged at both ends before plating?
