Hi everyone,

Here are some pictures of my Original 50E air rifle,

It has D stamped on the barrel and on the link arm has 330 stamped.

Does any one have an idea of how old it is and any rough estimate on the price?

Cheers, Mick

It should have a month and year stamp on the left side of the spring chamber near the rear end.

Not always. Pre mid 60's (?) didn't have a date.

Thanks for the help, I just checked now and there is no date shown.

Any idea of some one who could re-spring and lube it and bring it up to full power if poss?

Thanks, Mick

DM80 on here would get my vote.

This rifle will have the 3 ball trigger sear.

It's a lovelly, clean-lined rifle. They shoot very sweetly when tuned.

Hi Mdunn,

Yours looks to be late 50's early 60's.....it's the early version.In good condition expect about £150+ pretty airgun...but never going to be too powerfull...

I saved up and bought a new 50E in .22 when I was 14 , 17 pounds 10 shillings. that makes it about 1962 give or take, very accurate and around 10 ft lbs, but no way of realy knowing in them days.
