Webley Senior Air Pistol (postwar, engraved) 

Engraved by master engraver Don Blocksidge.

With thanks to Troubledshooter.

He says: "The grips were a later acquisition fitted to another Senior.

This Senior is a very early example of Don's work as it is engraved through the blue which entails a lot more care than engraving in the white and re-bluing which is what most of Don's later work entailed."
