What do you mean by 'really good' condition?
I think that one of these rifles in good, but used condition - a few scratches on the stock, the rifle run-in but not worn out, with intact open sights, should be worth about £60.
what can i expect to pay for the above gun ,in really good condition in 22 caliber .

I fear you are right. Very 1970s British design and workmanship, down to a price and not really bothered. A shocking product considering it was a descendent of the Webley Mk III underlever, the only British airgun Herman Weihrauch respected.
One interesting thing about them is the use of piston rings, like in a car-engine. If these are lubricated correctly the rifle can be extremely consistent, if not very efficient.
A .22 example in very good mechanical order will make about 9 ft/lbs and shoot into a 40mm circle at 30 yards. 5.6mm pellets will work better than .22.
Good as a plinker or short-range rat-gun.
thanks for your time and info,ive been offered one for£25 and i think its a bargain ,just wanted the advice of the proffessionals.
Do check the barrel is not bent upwards. Some of these rifles had problems with sear engagement and they would go off with the barrel in the cocked position. If the shooter was not holding it properly then the barrel would slam shut, causing an upward bend.
I also think it sounds like a bargain for £25.
hsing-ee i will check for the problems you have told me to ,thanks for your help.
