Seniors, in particular, make great paperweights, not just doorstops.
They are all, to varying degrees, also quite good as things to shoot with at stuff.
Just not quite as good as post-war Diana 5s.
Except Juniors. What is the point of them?

I.J---"How much?" You see it is an illness that creeps up on you. I am not a collector, but I seem to have a lot of Webley pistols, despite the fact one of the better condition ones seems to go to a family member in a lined box every Christmas and I end up getting a rougher one to replace it. So far a Hurricane, Tempest, Typhoon, Senior (yes a bloody Senior!) and Premier have all been put into green baize lined wooden boxes (not for burial
) and given as presents. I somehow seem to have acquired 6 or so Juniors although 2 of these were sort of by accident/ default. I bought a really abused Mk2 Premier off here to stop it being broken, also a Pre War Mk1 that was on it's last legs. Garvin sent me a lump of a Pre War Mk1 last year and it is now working, although fitted with a Post War barrel and I am debating whether to strip off the matt black paint and give it a bit of a wash over with Plum Brown or leave it as it is? I have found that some of the most abused guns seem to shoot the best---------almost as though they appreciate a bit of Tlc after all the abuse.
Maybe one day, a rough Typhoon frame or pistol will turn up and it will be converted into a Typest. Maybe I might get a cheap, rough Straight gripped Senior? Who knows? Do I need another Webley pistol? No. Would I buy, accept a freebie, take in an abused one etc? Yes.
It is a bit of a problem. Some people even like them so much (I.J) that they make them a cup of tea

Do you make your own boxes, or is there an off-the-shelf option that you customise?Originally Posted by ggggr

Too many guns, or not enough time?

They introduced thousands of youngsters to the art of pistol shooting, which is why so many have been sold over the years.
