Who in their right mind would pay £ 6000 for a webley copy
i know guys here that have originals bought for a few hundred. Or you could buy a Ruger GP100 here for £700.

I was exited for a minute, but they are never going to sell at that price.
I paid $250 Canadian for this 98 year old Webley about 18 months ago. The finish is a bit lacking but it's mechanically perfect.

I would expect to pay more for something that is not massed produced, but I don't think anyone will pay that price. That's 13112.37 Canadian Dollars, or 52 1/2 original Webleys. :)

And they produce White Nile and Blue Nile Fragrances, at no doubt premium prices:
Scents can provoke powerful reactions, evoking long forgotten memories of people and places. Our two perfumes are oil-based, incorporating the scents that accompanied the early explorers on their expeditions into the interior of the Dark Continent.
Does that mean stale sweat and BO?
