As Troubledshooter says, the pre war Mk 1 and Mk2 Target were not sold cased and it wasn't until the pre-war Slant Grip model appeared that a canvas case was offered. As far as I'm aware, reproduction post-war cases are not available anywhere, but small cutlery cases can be quite easily modified to accept the pistol and accessories.

    I am however fortunate enough to have an original canvas cased Senior with correct oil can, pellets, cleaning brush etc which took quite a long time and quite a bit of cash to finally source.

    Good luck with finding a nice case to house your pistol.

    Regards

    A couple of cases adapted to house Webley air pistols.

    1. Cutlery case now home to a Webley Junior.

    If you go to Tim Dyson's site, click on pistols- post 1939, the Senior is in one of Dave's cases. I tried to post a direct link but kept on getting a blank page.

    I will PM his phone number.

    Hello,

    I noticed this and thought the estimate still to be on the high side given that the oil can is a reproduction and the pellet tin is post-war.

    Regards Brian
