Webley junior - first pistol, bought it when I was 11, sold it a couple of years later then bought it back again.
It was confiscated by parents, teachers and police many times over the years but I always managed to get/steal it back. It survived a couple of weeks in a pond once and also survived being thrown on a bonfire!
Since then it was painted gloss black, stripped and reblued twice, and now has pride of place amongst around a hundred other webleys rather than hidden in a sock drawer
