Love that thumbhole stock
By the looks of the markings and the trigger it's definitely one of the transition models!
Nice find indeed

I always knew it's assembled in Turkey. All Longbow SE's were. The trigger is the same as the UK assembled guns. Long before I bought it I read up on them on UK forums. There are some mixed reviews so I knew what chance I was taking to buy it. Most of the negative opinions seem to think it's a Hatsan. Having never even seen one.
This one obviously shoots very well with the current set up. No regrets.

I bought a brand-new Turkish Longbow decades ago. Won't speculate if it was Turkish made, Turkish steel, or Turkish fairy-dusted, but it had pretty WALNUT.
It also had one of the worst triggers and firing behaviors of any of the hundreds of airguns, and scores of sproingers, I've owned; both 'qualities' falling somewhere in the same ballpark as Chinese Lion, Mendoza, and Philippine.
The Turkish Longbow did make a pretty good trotline weight
(after removing the stock to make pistol grips out of). That last sentence above was a joke, BTW.

I bet it wasn't an SE. Likely a Longbow II with the pre Quatro Hatsan trigger. There was an equally horrible Webley Stingray II with that trigger.

While we're on Webleys, here's my walnut .22 Stingray carbine with one of my HW50's. This Webley also has a JM spring and therefore not as snappy. Sweet little Webley. Like a jewel with it's high polish blue
