Just found your reply to a post about dating Webley MK3 .22 underlever air rifles ,I was given one years ago in a very sorry state , stock was bleached from being left in a garden by a tree for several years, the metal parts were very corroded but with love and care the stock looks very good and the metal work is not that bad and shot fine for a few years after that so I lent it to a friend who has chicken and had a ratty problem, he has just returned it and it did not shoot well at all ,so new spring and leather washer and it is now better than ever, so in reading the reply about dating got me wondering how old is this one, but I can say I am a little confused because the serial number is very clear and appears to be 49966 there does not appear to be any letters, in saying that the four definitely looks like a 4 and not a letter A because it is the same size as the numbers so upper case???
any clues would be appreciated, Thanks
