Webley's had there problems in later years .The company changed hands several times ,lack of investment,rising costs, output was falling and prices increased. As a result guns produced in the 70's were not as good as they could have been . That said guns made for America in 20 and 28 bores [720 & 728] were some of the best finished guns they had made for some time .Over all the old 700 was good value for money and many have stood the test of time with honour . Nice to see there are those of you who share that opinion .
Personally I have soft spot for them and last year traveling to Birmingham for the funeral of an old colleague and ex Webley worker ,I drove past the Park lane factory which apart form the sign had not changed since the last time I drove out of the gates in 1977.
