Welrod mk2 .32 acp

**Skyrimjoe** · 04-11-2020 06:05 AM

Need help. Looking to buy this but know nothing about the welrod.
My concern with it is the crudeness of the star. And from other examples, I’ve seen it seems the serial number is upside down. Can anyone help with this ASAP. Basically what things do I need to look out for. The serial number in his is 00105

Thanks

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Not an expert, but that was what it looked like. It looks unused.

Looks right to me too, there can't be too many around. Here's some comparison... sabotage

**Skyrimjoe** · 04-11-2020 12:01 PM

But what about the star. Looks really badly done. The example you sent has a clean star. And the serial number is upside down

**browningautorifle** · 04-11-2020 12:57 PM

Agreed but our ruler here is short. These aren't common and the one I sent I think is different caliber. If you hang on, there should be others along. Maybe someone in the USA icon

owns one...

AFAIK they were all in .32 ACP.

K, my mistake. Here's a thing though... Welrod - Wikipedia

It just seems that someone on site had one some time back...maybe down in Texas? I wonder if I can find anything about it. I THINK it was also brand new so it might not help us. Markings wise...

Sounds about right...

Found the thread regarding a member here with a Welrod, it's a new model. Doesn't really have much to do with the old one so no reference there. Here it is...

It’s my gut feeling that this is a repro, someone in Europe was making these to original specs and were fully functional. Some were imported and deactivated and offered on the collectors market. I would research extensively before paying for an original and receiving a repro. There are dealers out there who sell knowing and some that don’t.
