Maybe I`m wrong, but hardly a sleeper if it has no colour case hardening whatsoever !

Perhaps they were sold like that from new, but I somehow doubt it.

I`m sure Gunman will be able to advise on that.

OB

Yes, you are wrong concerning the action options .700 series guns were not all case coloured actions. Most of the earlier guns were polished actions. Regards

Many thanks for correcting my wrong assumption. That`s something that I`ve learnt.

I therefore owe the trade advertiser an apology.

Regards,

OB

I have several 1950/60/70's Webley catalogues and numerous options were available across the range. 👍

It would be interesting to see some of those, especially if they published the prices.

I seem to recall seeing an advert for a Webley 700 at the time for about £110 but cannot remember when that was (guessing 60s). Way out of my reach I know that.

1958 Parker Hale catalogue: 

Webley 700 basic grade.....£63/6s/8d plus £14/5s/0d purchase tax equals £77/11s/8d. That is £77.58p in metric money. 
Highest grade was £100 plus tax. £122.50 total.

Oddly, the guns are listed as grade 1, 2 and 3 rather than 700, 702 and 701 as we usually know them.

These are retail prices so more reflective of what the guns cost to buy rather than the ex-works trade prices quoted by our friend benbobailey

Thank you gentlemen for an enlightening discussion and Old Boggy for your apology.

My definition of a sleeper.

Sleeper "something that is not active"

The customer I purchased this gun from informed me that it had sat in his cabinet for over 30 years (asleep) and it has been on my inventory for some time now also sleeping.

I trust that explains my use of the word "Sleeper "

Now that's  all  sorted would anyone like to buy the gun?

There were photos originally but as Dedabler said, for some reason the advert now says that the gun is sold, but it`s not.

You may have to send Dedabler a PM and I`m sure that he will send you some.

Looks a nice gun.

Just seen that the original advert dated 10th.August before Dedabler reduced the price still shows the photos.
