    A Pic I thought would never come - The Webley Rifles

    The MarkII Service was that one I thought I would never get, even though the MarkI is rarer. Over here the MarkII is so tuff or crazy expensive. Took a fellow collector to make a trade to final snag it.

    They appear to be three very fine examples of the first Webley Air Rifles, nice one.
    You were lucky to find a Mk.1 as they are scarce over this side of the pond as well.

    Well done Steve.

    Of course you do know there are 3 variants of the Mk2 to find!

    Kind regards,

    Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

    Very true, only the first and second patterns yet to find, and whilst your at it, keep an eye out for an etched Mk.1, plus the variants of the Mk.3's; that'll keep you busy for a while.

    Knowing Steve, he'll have excellent examples of each eventually...

    I forgot about the Supertargets, all three variants of them, plus, as you say, the many variants of the standard Mk.3.
