    Falcon for the Fair

    Cleaned and ready to go. Shame there is a small stock crack behind the trigger.

    That's a lovely one mate.

    Must admit I like the Falcon - Webleys' take on the BSA Meteor.

    Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

    Thanks for the post Mate,
    Thought it was invisable
    Much better rifle than a Meteor.

    I've been playing with the idea..
    Do you know if it is possible to bring airguns back out of the UK easily?

    It does look well cared for, but are those punch marks on the top of the breech ?

    Second and last photos, it looks to me as though there seems to be something on the breech under the back of the rearsight .

    There do seem to be marks, you are correct. Can't think why?

    Webley Falcon

    Strange I have same punch marks on both of my Falcons, both seem to align with the rear sight blade. Could only speculate it's a factory expedient to align the rear sight?.

    I had always assumed the two marks on the breech beneath the sight blade on my Falcon was caused by the previous owner screwing down the sight too hard and the indentations were as a result of the corners of the rectangular cut-out under the blade biting into the breech block.

    That was what I originally thought, any Falcon owners out there without marks under the sights?
