Old BSA underlever, so the Old BSA experts can you please tell me from the number how old it is? No. 63385

Long grooved button on sidelever catch, "Improved model D" I think it is, its all there .177 and shoots sweetly, anyone interested?

Don't happen to have a spare corner with a mint BSA Mercury in it do you Baz? :D ;)

Paddy or I.J should be able to date it for you. :)

For the info chaps, it has some rust but all the writing is still visible, nothing a bit of 0000 wire woll and WD wouldnt fix I would imagine

Anyone give me a ballpark figure value? Everything works perfectly, no play in tap, even got "LOAD" stamped above it in case you forget where pellet goes;)

Hi Baz, may be interested any pics? Does it have a straight or pistol grip stock? Cheers, Paul.

Its pistol grip, but I think someone wants it, will let you know
