B.S.A. One in One Thousand

[David]

If anyone is interested in one of these its on www.gunauction.co.uk.
I did place a bid but as the punter has not got back to me I suspect I cannot afford it .

It should also have a target holder, targets, pellets and oil.

I think they were around the £250 when new. It will be interesting to see what it sells for.
About 15% were in .177.

Plus a scope and mounts if I remember correctly.

Hello ,

The BSA Centenary should come with everything.
Sling , scope and scope lens covers , mounts , badge and a certificate.

These are mine , I have had them a long time . Apparently they now fetch about £550 - £600 with all the bits and bobs.

Regards ,

The complete kit also contained an embroirded badge and a very nice sling with QR catches. It came with a dedicated gun bag also. I do not know the original price as it was a Christmas present from my wife!!!

Judging by how far down the list this is, I would think it's been on offer for quite some time.
BSA Centenaries don't seem to be much in demand, and any that have been offered over the past few years, seem to fetch around the £450 figure, if they sell at all.
The .177 version commands a premium as there were only 261 produced in this calibre compared with 739 in .22., but I have rarely seen a .177 offered for sale.
I have No:2, which was the first .22 sold, but it took me a while to get a .177 version as well, both in unused, as sold condition.
They were originally offered for sale in 1982 at around £235.

When I was a young lad, I can remember these Bsa Centenary kits being discounted down for a while, in the airgun mags, to about to the price of the Airsporter S, .
They would have just been old stock for the gunshop, I suppose at the time.
Was offered a factory fresh, unfired one, with all accessories that had never been assembled for £500.00 about 18 months ago. The collector that was selling it, a very honest and decent chap, had bought two together in this condition, so I suppose he would have paid less for the two.
Though he is very canny and a diligent searcher out of things !
