First, determine the series and then obtain some photos to at get at least some idea of the cosmetic condition also ensuring that the pistol is complete and fully functional before going ahead with a purchase. A fragile area on all Webley air pistols is the grips which are often found chipped at the bottom corners as a result of care not being taken with aligning the locating pin before tightening the grip retaining screws.
If you are happy with the above £180 sounds like a very fair price for a boxed first series Webley Premier.
Hope this helps.
