Hi can anyone fill me in with details of this little break barrel gun.
There is one in a local shop and its condition is as new. Going online I find it is a discontinued gun from way back. Any details please ie when it was made, are they still made?
Thanks.

Yes, I would (get my coat) for that price. Think it's a halfway house between the Junior/Jaguar range & the Falcon. It had a solid barrel & cocking arm. Later ones had the (in)famous Webley scope rails. Same fps as the Junior/Jaguar, according to Webley. Apparently examples have been seen with both 14" & 16" barrels.
If you get bored with it, let me know

Its more or less a "proper" barrel version of the Jaguar. The Diana 22 and 23 having the same relationship. Reckoned to have been made for Webley by Milbro/ Diana.
The thing to watch out for on all these rifles is wear on the piston where the cocking arm pushes. Also if they have been mistreated and the piston washer has started to go, the end of the piston can smash into the end of the cylinder and damage the little threaded rod on the end of the piston.
Im surprised they are so rare as I have 2 and got one for my youngest Niece years ago. That one was boxed and still had the original price on £6 19 6 I think.
Adverts of the time show that the pistols were more expensive I think.
Cooler than Mace Windu with a FRO, walking into Members Only and saying "Bitches, be cool"
Found a Jaguar at a collectors fair, paid £25 for it, still my only Webley rifle.......
