The left side of the cylinder is stamped 'The Webley Senior Made in England' together with 'oil' and arrow indicator pointing to the oil hole located on top of the cylinder. The right side is stamped 'Webley & Scott Ltd, Birmingham' and has the correct prewar patents. The frame has serial number ‘S13703’. The forward barrel block is stamped '.22S' calibre & the front of the cylinder stamped with matching number '703'. The prewar barrel is correctly without central knurled section which was introduced post WW2. It has a blade foresight & adjustable rear sight. The pistol cocks and fires crisply. Inside the handmade leather case with handmade lock is an original hard to come by oil tin, spare spring with Webley tin swing tag, barrel cleaner, Webley pellet tin and original colour pamphlet.
