Introduced in 1935, the slant-grip version offered a more ergonomic hold compared to the earlier straight-grip models. .177 calibre provides a flatter trajectory, making it ideal for precision target shooting and plinking. The slant-grip Senior is considered one of the all-time classic air pistols, better-finished than handguns costing much more.
Webley suspended air weapon production between 1939-1945 for the war effort, making these pre-war examples particularly significant. Early examples from the pre-war years are particularly prized by collectors, sought after not only for their performance but for their place in airgun history. Manufactured by the esteemed British firearms company Webley & Scott, the Pre-War Senior is a testament to the craftsmanship and innovation of the pre-World War II era.
