    Webly Junior 45-58 extended grips

    Hi everyone, I have what I think is a 1945-58 .177 smooth bore pistol. I will post a pic. It’s in used condition but has the extended grips. Am I correct and appreciate its very average condition what would it be worth ? Many thanks

    Can I post pics direct on here now or does it have to go through a host site ?

    Looks like someone in the past has spray painted it black? In that condition I would say £30-£50 . If it had the original bluing showing £60-£80 range. In original box £120-£150 maybe. Of course, if you can find someone that REALLY wants it, they might pay more.

    Never heard the term extended grips used for this model. Is that a usual designation ?

    I'd mainly agree on this, maybe £35-£50. With things of this sort of age and condition,paying more could be end up costing a fair bit more than buying a slightly better pistol.
    I am NOT saying there is anything wrong with the pistol, but it could need a new mainspring, piston washer and breech seal----AND I have found that a lot of Webley pistols need a new cocking link as they are so worn over the years.
    However the bits mentioned could all still have a bit of life in them and it would be a good fun gun in that sort of price range.
    If it were mine---I'd keep it and enjoy it for the next (oh bugger the thing would out last me!) 60 years.

    Is the barrel bent or is that an artifact of the photo being taken at close range?

    FWIW I think you would be better off keeping this one for yourself rather than trying to sell. What you will get for it will not match the enjoyment you will have shooting it.
    Good deals with these members

    Yes Baz, that is the correct description for this model.
    Here is a picture - courtesy of a 1995 John Atkins article - showing the tin grip, extended grip and standard grip Juniors:

    I have seen photos of these unusual grips as they have an extended piece at the top rather than virtual the same width as the grip. No idea of its history as it was given to me

    They also have coarser cross hatching on the grip than the standard model.
