    .177 Webley Premier MkII in stunning condition (unboxed)

    I think this is circa. 1973/4.
    Absolutely stunning condition apart from a light hairline scratch at the front of the cylinder (RH).

    A real gem of a pistol with a great trigger.











    I would like £200 which includes PF48 carriage.

    Over 18s only and not available to those prohibited under Section 21 of the Firearms Act.

    The Premier is SOLD pending payment.

    A great purchase Paul, good skittles. I adore my Mk.II Premier .177 pistol (in similar condition I may ad), as it is lovely to shoot (nicer than my Senior .177 and nicer than my Tempest .177 to shoot truth be told), so enjoy.

    Nice pistol - but its not a MK II (they were alloy) its a steel MK I - the very last batch with the name indent and that barrel. It also happens to be the pinnacle of webley pistols in my opinion.

    On closer inspection (on iPad not iPhone) indeed it is (nice and a late steel Prem). Wouldn't mind one of these myself?

    If you remove the left grip the date should be stamped on the frame

    Thumbs up

    I have a transitional steel Prem too, Swapped my boxed and mint Tempest for it!!



    And with a mk2 and a couple of pother steel Prems! (Top one is a 'B' version)



    My missus is getting fed with my guns as they're everywhere, She keeps telling me to get them sold- 'Buit not the Webley pistols'!!

    She went crackers when I swapped two Wobbley's for a Hy Score!

    I would LOVE something transitional to plug my collection's gap between my .177 boxed curly triggered late 1950s Senior (Sex in a Box) and my minty Mk.II (mid 1970s) .177 Premier ... Must be .177. What ya got?
