    Nice find to get that box in what appears to be excellent condition.
    The earlier boxes of similar design had the Birmingham & London address.

    It was only the wood grip Junior and early tin grip Junior that would have used the London & Birmingham address box, so that repro box is wrong for your pistol.

    Yep that's the box it came in when I bought it,hence getting the right box now,will still keep the repo tho as hoping to find a wood grip one day to put in it

    Good luck with that, they are getting extremely scarce.

    Early tin grip with the adjustable rear sight would be easier to find?

    Quite interesting to do a comparison on the rep vs original box,the rep box is quite a bit bigger

    But expensive for a Junior

    Circa £300 with fees

    Nice boxed, wood grip Webley Junior with adjustable rear sight coming up at Holts next auction, but despite the box just carrying the Birmingham address, I would be very surprised if it doesn’t exceed the high end of the estimation by quite a bit.
