    Rare Webley Pistol?

    I have a rare(ish) Webley Premier C series.
    I was once told years ago by a collector that this particular model was. But i was more and still am into rifles a wee tad more.

    Any thoughts please?

    Yep, certainly one of the rarer Premiers.

    I'm sure you will have no problem with selling it. A boxed one sold at a Kempton fair a year or two back but I can't remember the price. The seller is a member on here though and may see this thread.

    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 few are known and of those at least 2 ended up in NZ.

    Mine's a boxed .22 and I paid £235 over 20 years ago, which was a lot but worth it IMHO.

    I bought that Premier C at Kempton a while back - as quoted, the price was £245 boxed. I have actually had more trouble finding a good Premier A, but I now have the complete sequence, A to F including both kinds of E. I am about to hang up my collecting habit, because at my age it's getting too much to travel to the various venues - Kempton is my nearest, and that's eighty mile each way; so watch this space for the occasional oddity, which might tickle somebody's fancy!
