What a find, Webley mk3 ph16m

[barts101]

can you please tell me were you borrowed the time machine

to go back to the webley factory on the day that gun was made


to collect it and bring it back to the future

Envious--------------- what a fine example its looks in brand new condition ---- did you get the box

Sorry for the late reply, just got back in the time machine managed to get 3 falke 90's.

Unfortunately no box, the gent that had it before me must have treated it well.

Took it to the club on wednesday and it groups very well.

Cheers

Hi Dave
Cracking find that mate ,I picked one up a few months ago
With a don Robinson slightly customised stock and I thought
That was in good nick but yours is even better, mine is in
The 36000s about 1959 I think mine also don't look like
It's seen much use

I put it on the later type stock, It was originally on an early type stock that wasn't very nice and was cracked!!

I bought the later stock for £20 but it was black with age and grime, Couldn't believe the Tiger striping that was under all that crud!!

As it was originally..

The diopter eye piece was missing too but a mate gave me the one that's on it, He's called Kamag on here

I do like the stock, a little gem, The blueing looks superb also.

I've got a couple with ph17b's on but much prefer the 16m's you get more flexibility with the use of the open sights.

The difference in the PH16m mounting holes position could be because one was fitted at the factory, and the other possibly wasn't.

Lovely example. I sold a similar one on here some time ago but not in such pristine condition. Any ideas on what you think this is worth? Not offering to buy and I am sure you don't want to sell but just wondering what other experienced collectors think this is worth. I would go £350-400.

Wow, nice find! Tell us the full story, how and where did you come across that? Do you have any idea of its story? How did it come down through the years in such great condition?

A great find my friend, well done for that.

Enjoy.

It's a classic story really.

Bought it from an old gent in the village who had it from new, simply didn't use it much.

Right place right time.

I forgot to mention I have the original webley canvas and leather slip also

Makes the find even better.

Is there a 'Webley' label in the slip, or is it a 'Brady'?

[barts101]

Hi mate

Just had a look and can't see any webley marks.

The chap did mention he bought it with the mk3 from new.

Canvas with leather sling.

I've just had a look at chris Thrales webley book and on page 37 , the webley service slip looks the same but wider.

Cheers

Dave
