RO72.
This is an Italian made break barrel .177 pellet air pistol with japanned steel rifled barrel, two stage trigger and black plastic one piece grip / frame. Original rear and fore sight and comb to top.

Condition; good. Black plastic frame is intact with no losses, cracks or repairs. Original removeable forsight with pawn shaped index. Plastic rear sight is broken as can be seen. Japanned body finish shows general wear and there are various scuffs and marks; see the enlarged piccies. Marked RO 72 CAL. 177 MADE in ITALY.
Cocks and fires fine. Barrel length 7.28”, total weight 0.9kg, overall length 13.8”.

According to John Griffiths’ superb Air Pistol Encyclopedia book these were made from about 1973 to 1994. The ‘GT’ logo to the grip stands for “Gun Toys” of Milan, Italy, though it was also retailed here in the UK under a number of different tradenames such as the Panther de Luxe, Bullseye and Hotshot de Luxe.
I have almost as many variants of these as I do Diana’s so some will be rounded up and released back into civilisation!

I’m asking £49 collected or can post with the following options; UK Standard Parcels with cover to £39 will be £4.50, 1st class recorded £7.50 or next day Special Delivery £8.80
