Scully Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Webley & Scott 12 bore single. Free to a good home. Took it in as I didn’t want to see it scrapped, but if no one wants it then I’m afraid that may be it’s fate. It is in very good nick inside and out. Let me know if you want pics.👍 I can travel if you can. Edited September 4, 2022 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 My very first gun was Webley and Scott single 12 bore and the only gun I ever bought from a gun shop , the shop was Darlows in Norwich and I paid about £17 which in 1962 was a small fortune , since then I have had many guns come and go and that very first gun still hold many , many happy memories , how I would like to be transported back to the fist time I put a Yellow Wizard cartridge in the breach and after it was fired I got hooked on smelling the burnt powder , now the youngsters get hooked on substance's a bit stronger than burnt powder .

Westley Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 That model was my first shotgun in 1967. Paid £12 for it back then and that included 50 Eley Grand Prix 6's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOPGUN749 Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 50 years ago at 15,that would have been my dream,a Webley,instead I had to settle for a BSA Snipe,£13 second hand,and not half as good! A shame today no one wants a basic single any more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the A Y A Cosmos and the dealer might had been Paddy Howe , I went there once to buy some cartridges , he had a rough type of shop , and that is being polite , he wasn't a bad ole boy but I am not sure if he is still above ground . My single W and S was a nice streamlined gun with a very narrow fore stock , my mate bought a B S A Snipe single barrel about the same time and if I remember rightly it looked a bit rough and cheap looking , I think they were about 14 quid , still at the time they were our pride and joy , I also had a Greener G P single with a martini action and I am pretty sure that gun had a 34 inch barrel , now they are collectors items , if we only knew at the time .
