Roger (serowman) hasn't been on the BBS since 17th January, and I've lost his phone number. Anyone able to check that he is okay please? Cheers. Atb: G.

hi Gareth
Roger is working away for a few more months ( in sunny Glasgow).

Pete who makes the Webley/HW grips is making a couple of Club stocks for him at present and so he is in touch . All is well I believe.

I have a mk2 in .22 with serial number GD22841, which I bought used from Manchester Air Guns in '78, still in prime condition.

[serowman]

Any more please - before I post my findings. There must be more .177's surely!

[Powderfinger]

Mine looks like GB9575, Mk1, .22. Though the 9 is a bit worn and could be a 1. You might have a record of that one, Roger, since you sold it to me. I look forward to seeing the complete list.

[serowman]

It is a 9 Charlie and already recorded. Thanks

A chum of mine has a Mk2 .22: GD6294. In good condition, with original etching and still in use as a squirrel-killer.
