Thanks for sharing the fascinating link to the articles documenting the exporting of Webley products to the states.
Having now read all three articles hosted on Danny’s site I have a much better idea of the complexity and difficulties the export market to the USA entailed.
I have always held the perception that the best of Webley output was reserved for export with the run of the mill products confined to the home market.
The addition of those nice wood grips on the Stoeger pistols always fills me with envy.

Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

I’m fine thanks John and hope both you and Josie are keeping well. I must have missed your articles on the Webley / USA connection in AGW so was pleased that Danny had hosted them on his excellent site.
The wood grips always get me, so I wondered if I could have ordered a set from Webley along with the pistol here in the UK back then.
