    Sadly the BSA Cadet and its bigger brother the BSA Cadet Major, don't seem to make the money that I think they are worth.

    In top order they make a bit over the hundred pound mark, however on average most "Good" ones make around 60-75 pounds on average.

    I feel they are worth far more than that and I also feel that no collection of airguns should be complete without one of each However some may consider me a bit biased
    In any event top guns that were ahead of their time, and most still perform flawlessly nearly 50 years after they were last made. They were one of the last guns to be made solely out of wood,steel and leather only, and the main reason that BSA stopped making them was due to cost of manufacture. Most bits were made from heavy forgings or machined from solid steel,and no plastic or alloy came anywhere near them. 100% quality throughout..... Magic!!

    All the best
