I have seen Webley Mk IVs in good shape go for about that, but the price is not bad. The catch spring and screws are available from Gun Parts Corp.; $7.95 for the spring and $1.75 for the screws.
The "war finish" was Webley's way of assuring their regular customers that the poor quality of finish was due to the war emergency and that no one should mistake it for their normal quality of workmanship. (Only in England!)
