Just spotted what may well be a Webley Air Pistol in the James Bond film 'Goldfinger' ?
At the part in the film where 007 narrowly misses death by being cut in half with an industrial laser, Auric Goldfinger gets one of his henchmen to shoot James Bond with a Tranquilizer pistol. Well it looks like that is a Webley Senior with a long barrel (maybe a false add on?) The way the light hits the rear of the gun shows the slot in the cylinder and the rear sight adjusting screw.
Maybe its time to throw out the Walther on all the posters and replace it with a Wobbly ?

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
Thought the Webley pistol would have been at the 'Premier'

It's a Palmer Cap-chur model 60 short range projector dart gun...which looks about 90% Crosman 2240

"Webleys Galore? I must be dreaming..."
I thought the same many years ago to be honest, hence knowing the right answer now.
But when you think about it, the traquilliser gun does fit in with the story a bit better than getting shot with a 20 year old Webley overlever that would have just resulted in an anticlimaxing 'Ow!!' from the smarting 007...
Haven’t seen it for ages, but pretty sure it was a Webley.
I think the Cap-Chur featured in a different film or films, whether Bonds or something else similar.
Just watched the clip again on youtube - It definitely looks like it starts with a Cap-chur in the first frames when the technician produces the gun, but I can also see the Webley resemblance when the camera angle shifts to directly behind...
Actually blowing up the first image above does show an odd gap in the breech area that shouldn't be there on a Cap-chur - so maybe it is a mock up as Geezer suggests...
