About this product

Product Information

Despite a long history of involvement in the design and production of firearms, the Birmingham firm of Webley & Scott is probably better known to the general public for its manufacture of airguns than for any other product. Until now, there has been no published reference that concentrates exclusively on the history and development of Webley air pistols. This book has been prepared to offer a comprehensive guide for all those interested in the subject and who appreciate the traditional British craftsmanship entailed. It embraces all models based upon the same initial patent, which were produced between the years 1924 and 1999, commencing with the original 'Mark 1' and progressing through twelve other models to the final 'Webley Tempest' introduced more than half a century later. In addition to the pistols themselves, there are sections of the book relating to pellet styles and various shooting accessories produced by the same company. The whole work is divided into twenty-two sections, the text being accompanied throughout with 226 original photographs and over 70 line illustrations, each of which has been prepared by the author.

First edition or not?
The original first edition was priced (in the dust cover) at £35.00 it rapidly became as rare as the proverbial and I actually paid £100.00 for my copy. (I didn't, my wife bought it for me). As a Webley fanatic the book is referred to almost daily so is getting, even with care, slightly worn so I sought for another first edition, perhaps as a bit of a shrine or whatever. I specifically asked Wordery if this edition was a first edition and was assured that it was however when it arrived (I have kept it) it had a price of £40.00 inside the dust cover and a different ISBN number. So where is the line between a first edition and a reprint of a first edition drawn? The book itself is excellent, any Webley collector must have one.
