A rusty Webley Mark 111
Early mk111 shame it is so rusty lovely guns
Can you see serial number on underside of cocking lever that will date it.Fluted fore end and round serrated tap date it to early 1950s.mk3.
the serial number is 16982 , it would restore easily as its a paint finish, im tempted. the spring is so strong on it to cock
Shoots well too, powerful !
Its a .22 btw
I cant pm you Toby Jug says your in box is full ?
Is the serial number pre 49 then ?
Hi,
Chris Thrales book states that Series 3 Mk3s started production in 1949 starting with Ser No 6001. Consequently, I would suggest your rifle would have been made in late 1949 or early 1950. The rifle would have originally had a nice blued finish, so I would have thought a to refinish it from this condition would not be cost effective.

They're my favourite Webley rifle
I'm pretty sure yours could be refurbished and would make a handsome rifle

Can anyone help with a value please ?
As is tho' it's complete I'd say £50 at best. However if you are hands on and are attached to it then restore it yourself. You'll love it.
Plenty of help on here/there including re blue which is a possible.
Hello,
I too would be somewhere in the £40-£60 region as the basis for a restoration project. As stated in an earlier reply, I don't believe a professional refinish would be cost effective, but you could tidy it up yourself and either sell it or keep it.
