Remarkable: an Unused, boxed, Mint 1951 Webley Mk 3

[andrewM]

In case anyone is interested, I noticed in CH Weston in Brighton, yesterday, an unused, mint 1951 Webley Mk 3, still in its box. It was explained to me that it formed part of a collection and the elderly collector had never assembled it or used it. It might just as well have come directly out of the factory. The price was rather high, at £1875, but then these things must be about as rare as hen's teeth.

Anyway, there it is, should anyone here want to travel back in time some 71 years!

They're rare in that condition...but not £1875 rare...

*Cough*... ! Ouch!!!

Still you might not see another, but boy you've got to really want it that price.

Holts have a mismatched (in terms of box) later one, minty looking, in their sale est £400-600

I paid £450 for a mid 1960s one a few years ago, so this one is a little rich for me!

That’s $2100, crazy money for that!

As that is my birth year, it has some appeal, the extent of which diminished rapidly when I saw the price.
