This Hellis would equate to a Webley proprietary grade 3 in quality, being supplied at a cost of around 18.00 in 1914, or 14.00 as a non-ejector. Charles Osbourne provided a very similar gun in 1900 for 13.00. They were all well made and properly fitted internally but with no frills. History has shown them to be very serviceable and long lived as well as being well balanced and engineered, pleasant shooting guns.
