Are these the correct reproductions for the Webley WG Army Model Indy used in the 3 and 4 movie? If not is anyone making them?

Those are the correct ones. I bought them myself to replace my old, chipped originals. You'll have to do some mods to put the screw in. You'll also find that one grip is flatter than the other.

Are these poor quality? Sounds like these differ a bit from originals. I don't have the screw. Can you tell me a source for them or a good replacement?

Wouldn't know where to get a screw. You could try to find a screw for another of the Webley models and it might work. The grips are fine. Just one side is not completely flat and you can see it doesn't fit as snug as the other. Not by much though.There is another company on the internet that does the same style grips. Don't know how they are. The mod I did for the grips had to do with the screw holes on the grips. The real grips have metal things in the holes where the screw goes in. I took them out of the real grips and drilled the hole bigger on the repros to fit them. They are reproduced on the casts of the grips which I didn't need. All I needed was a rubber hammer to put them in the new grips and was good as new.

Yes I've noticed that brass "washer" that matches the brass screw head in many of the pictures. It appears they just did the repros without them in case you were using a substitute screw without one.

Would you be willing to take a couple pictures of the screw out of the gun and describe it's specs?

What's the other company that sells them? I can't seem to find another source?

Do any of these screws and washers look similar?

I just found this offering.

These look a little more precise compared with the other company.

The washer and screw looks similar to the PICS , but those are different models. I was doing some research and you should even think about looking for parts from a MK I Webley. If I understand correctly the WG is the civilian model of the MK I. Maybe you can find the parts that way. I also remember in the early 90's there was a place where I bought my MK VI Webley. It was called JR's and was located in VT.They dealt in everything British. I don't know if they are in business anymore or not.
