I see you've joined an airgun forum, Ben  :salute::. I'm oldhw77 on there. You'll find the people on the collectable airguns section really helpful.

Looking at on of my airgun books your pistol appears to be a post World War 2 model as it has 'Webley' on the grips and  knurling on the barrel - Seniors where made between 1935 and 1964. The bopk also says that they are 'judged to be the best of the pre-WWII Webley air pistols' :tu:.

I assumed it was you as you are the only Craig I know on here.  :D

After a bit of research, it turns out that mine is one of the earlier post war Seniors as it has "Birmingham 4" on it.  That dates it late 40's early 50's I believe.

What book are you looking in mate?

Like Mike mentioned, there are no gun shops round here so I guess I should take that as a good thing.  :D

The Chinese airguns are not bad these days, especially their higher end ones. Don't get me started on the Turkish made Webley springers though.  >:(

I've seen some of the higher end SMK stuff and it's really not too bad, especially for the price :)

very similar to your pistol  Dave ,could be a bit smaller..

I really miss shooting at things. Not sure living next to a Mosque near the city centre is a good place to wave my air pistol around though!

I used things like 2 litre plastic bottles as targets, then the pellets would go in but not come out again which meant I could use them again :)
