    That's a very nice Mk1 you have found there. that now makes it 11 more extra se/nos to what is in the Webley air rifles book.

    Micky.

    I'm reading the number as 1178 in which case it is already listed as a .22 calibre in the 118 number list, which has not been updated since 2015.

    The Mk.1 Serial numbers in Chris's book came mainly from John Atkins, with others added to the list by myself from numbers gleaned from this forum.
    I was occasionally adding a few more to the list after the book was published which is why there are more numbers than in the book, but nothing added since late 2015. Any of the extra numbers were passed on to John Atkins, but I don't know how up to date his list is, as he has been far too busy to do a regular update.
    No names were attributed to any of the numbers as that was the proviso under which some of the numbers were supplied, and I didn't keep any names in my list either.

    Hi Troubledshooter, l to have been passing on se/nos to John of various airguns over the years of which l know he likes to collect/formulate. so we have possibly given him some of the same numbers.

    Hi Troubledshooter - you might like to add my .177 Mk1 to your list, S/N 1233. I posted this info a few years ago but you may have missed it.

    Dragging up an old thread but I just clicked on the numbers list and it took me to a Finnish 'My net images' site, I used to have pics in the site years ago but now it seems to have gone all weird!!
