Sorry about that....I was looking for one for so long, it just feels good to have it now. Trust me, even the guys who have the real webleys drool everytime they see one. Didn't mean to rub it in....
Oh, gosh! No apology necessary, phantom
Truth be known, I actually obtained one of these, too, not all that long ago.
However, as much as I'd like to post pics of it, to prove that I also own the holy grail of Fett props, I lack the equipment to do so. So, I've been kinda' just keeping quiet about it (I've really gotta' start investing in some computer equipment, rather than putting all my extra money into this addictive hobby!:rolleyes)
Other than that, I can relate to the "good feeling" you're referring to, in the ownership of one of these babies, as well as the drooling theory (many is the time I've found myself standing in a shallow lake of the stuff, up to my neck! (Blame fettcicle for that one!
) Nowadays, though, it's only as bad as having to change out of a pair of soaking wet sneakers, when I see one that's for sale
. It does feel good, though, now, to be one of that small group of elite Fetts who have the option of dishing out the Webley envy, rather than being on the end imitating Pavlov's dog!
The reason, I posted being only 99.9% sure on msquared's grip inquiry, was because I wasn't certain that the grip that came with mine was the one that originally belonged to the No.1 Mk.1, as there are other grip patterns, that Webley made for some of their other guns (like the new pic of the black one that's posted above, which could of fit the stock bracket on mine just as well. I now know mine is the one that originally belonged to it (always good to know!
).
