Webley Air Gun Serial Numbers

• Smith & Wesson Gun Serial Numbers

Could someone educate me about the webley junior.177 pre war air gun I inherited from my grandfather. I am an American in the US where nobody seems to know anything about pre war Webley air guns. I saw a few for sale/sold on the internet in the US. I then searched for hours in the US and absolutely could not find one just like mine.

My question is what year(s) was mine made? It has batch number 477 and serial number J26477. It is obviously a 2nd series, prewar Webley junior air pistol with the steel, straight grip - I finally learned some about Webley Pre-war Juniors by perusing forums and such in the UK.

From the data I provided, I wanted to know if anyone can nail down the year(s) this was made? I also wish to know if anyone thinks this pistol could possibly fetch more in the U.S. Or should I just use British prices of recent to establish an asking price? Bear in mind, this air gun is used and requires some restoration as a result of some rusting and pitting.

The shooting power is low due to the obviously diminished compression and probably needs the a seal or O-ring replaced. Any comments, information about this Junior would be highly appreciated! ER LEWIS Last edited by erlewisphd; at 05:27 PM.

Reason: clarification and grammatical errors. This is the prewar, all steel webley junior.177 I inherited from my grand father here in the USA that I already posted about on this thread. Now that people can actually see what it is, I want to know if anyone can give me the closest approximation to the year it was made within the time span of webley air pistol production prior to WWII. Can anyone tell me the model?

And I am really excited in hopes that people can give me specific and more detailed informtaion about this Junior so I can learn as much as possible about it. Sadly, I need to sell it because I am so tight. I want to get as much as I can for it in the USA market and need help pricing it.

Here in the US after looking on the internet for hours, I have found prewar webley airguns for sale from $300 to $3000.00 for each out of 9 being sold. The one's costing $3000.00 were in 90% condition. I am very confused about the prices in the US with that wacky range of prices I found. What do I do? These prewar webley air pistols are very scarce here in the US.

There is not a single prewar webley air pistol to be found in the entire, huge US Ebay market. I would be very grateful for any responses to my post here.

I am sorry that I go on and on its a flaw of mine. It seems I have to find buyers for this airgun and start with people who are very interested in it, especially because they have never seen one before. There's this gun collector I know of who also collects old air pistols and he saw my airgun in a picture and was totally blown away and extremely excited by the fact that he had never seen or heard of Webley air pistols. I asked someone today to have him call me if he wants to make me an offer before I really get out there and try to sell it. It seems in the UK it is pretty consistently clear how much you can sell these for, and I noticed that in the UK prewar Webley air pistols are pretty in expensive. Ll the ones I have been able to find on the internet here are always selling quite a bit higher.
