Webley Mk3 values these days

[silva]

Standard Mk3's seem to go for about £150. There are an awful lot around. I noticed a good number in the Acle auction and they seem to come up with great regularity on other auction sites. They are lovely things, but pretty naff as shooters tbh. Most bought for collectability and looks I think these days. Needs to be unusual to fetch a higher price.

Same with 'bog std' Webley pistols, once again their durability tells against them.

In my early 20’s I had a minty 177 Mk3 with the folding Parker Hale 16m rearsight, that would effortlessly hit small targets up to about 35 yards away with incredible ease and repeatability. I think Mk3’s are generally accurate rifles. They could have done with an extra inch of swept volume. I sold it to my mate, to help fund a holiday with a new girlfriend and he still has it, nearly 30 years later ��
