    Webley Mark 1

    Can any of you webley enthusiasts advise on the approx current valuation of a wooden handled Mark 1 pistol.
    Looking at JC Militaria the current price is in excess of £400 is this hugely inflated.
    Not talking about mint condition just a tidy and functional model.
    Regards

    A "tidy" version could be worth £150 - but no more.

    If mint, boxed and with the original literature and accessories then maybe £200 - £250.

    £400? - in one's dreams.

    Agree that £200 to £250 seems a far more realistic valuation was very surprised at JC prices thought I had possibly hit on a great get rich quick scheme!

    Saw an unboxed MkI for sale at a recent arms fair at around £750. However...it was a spring clip model. I bought a late straight grip earlier this year for £50 and it was one of my best bargains of recent times. Agree that £150 for a good example is about right and what I would ask if I were selling one.

    Thanks for the info think I may have located a mark 1 from a fellow forum member for right sort of money.

    This is my one, think I paid around £150 which felt about right. Lovely pistol, worn box. They are buggers to cock. Used every day, lives in my dry shed.
