The leather offering better consistancy than the later Tempest but better damping to recoil than the bronze ring of the Senior. Once the leather washer is set up right, it has gone on record as being the most accurate Webley pistol ever. It was possible with this design to machine off the front face of the piston by about 2 mm in order to facilitate greater head space (volume) This remained remarkably consistant once set up right and could be tuned to yield 500 fps in. This example had the stronger linkage than the Mk 1 as did the slightly later Premier, but it also had a phosphor bronze piston ring instead of a washer. The webley power plant for the Tempest, Premier, Senior (best ever model) and the Mark1 are all exactly of the same original size.
