Hi,

Good quality pictures are what's needed to give an accurate appraisal, but what series is it?, what calibre?, any extras? i.e. barrels, box/case, accessories...all of this will have a bearing on its value.

To give you some idea though, a few months back I sold a 3rd series, .22, with tool marks, one missing screw, one non original screw and worn original finish for £250 (plus post).

HTH,
Dave

if its a mark 2 series 1 and the last 3 numbers of the serial are 443 and he wants to sell it i will give whatever he asks no matter what the condition or cost

its my ambition in life to find a mark 2 series 1 with the last 3 numbers of 443

then i can look for a series 2 etc

If it is a Mk 2 first series not only would the last 3 numbers be 443 but the first 3 would also be 443

Less than 1000 first pattern Mk.2's were made so the number 443 is all you would get, it being the true serial number.

May I ask how many less please

[slug-gun]

Of course you may ask!

Actually 'less than 1000' might be incorrect, as the highest numbered Series 1 I know of is S.875, but the LOWEST numbered Series 2 is S.1103, a 'gap' therefore of 228 rifles.

In other words it is possible that the Series 1 crept over the 1000 mark.
So if any of the good people of the BBS know of either a Series 1 with a number greater than 875, or a Series 2 with one less than 1103 I should be pleased to hear about it. Ta.

What is sure is that S.443 is a Series 1, and S.1443 is a Series 2!

A month or so back, in J.Knibbs's shop, there was two in very good condition & they were over £600 each.
