I think that the stock appears to be walnut (I am not an expert on timber but the oiled wood is pretty) and the tap lever has an attractive baroque style with some knurling. The inserted logo has Webley in uper and lower case and is underlined. It has no scope rail, which I understand may be date related. It is a beautiful air rifle and I would have liked to post a picture but have yet to learn hown to use "hosting systems" as mentioned in the site instructions. When it was given to me some fifteen years ago, I did replace the spring and piston seal but since we gave up our garden, I realise that I spend more time looking at it than shooting it.
I do hope that someone may have the knowledge that I lack.
