Chambers are showing breech seals in stock but they are not leather, have you checked with them to see if they have any leather ones knocking around thier workshop http://www.gunspares.co.uk/shopdispl...=24566&Search=
Does anyone have a genuine new (spare) leather breech seal to fit my HW55MM they would like to sell to me by any chance?
Is there a dealer or collector that may have some stock of spare parts for these HW55 rifles - including the leather breech washer I am looking for at the moment?
Any helpful information about these HW55 leather breech washers and where to find them would be appreciated.

Thanks Ricky,
I have seen the plastic seals Chambers have for sale and understand they can be cut at an angle to make a good fit as a breech seal for the early model HW55MM like mine, but I feel the leather seal would be a little more compliant and would prefer to fit one if I can find one.
I did try to call Chambers several times today about this, but only had the answerphone message with the option to email them with any enquiries - something I can do - but I would have preferred to speak to somebody if possible and will continue to try and do this next week when they are open again.
As a matter of interest I did ask them about some spare sight mounting parts I needed for my Osprey Supertarget by email today, and the polite answer I received advised me that the gun was obsolete - but I did reply to their email and asked them to let me know if they should get a used or broken model in the future that may have the parts I need.
I am hoping a phone call about the HW55 part may be a little more helpful than an email and is why I prefer to call them as I think it is much better and has more chance of success.

Try Protec supplies, in their Misc spares section, they have a 25mm leather washer in stock, which should fit.
