3 old rifles

[lodmoor]

Ok, so I am a pistol collector but, during my clearout, have found 3 rifles. 2 are projects, one of them was nostalgia, same model as my first air rifle aaahhh.

Valuations/interest please for:

Diana model 15 smooth bore, all there and working not bad nick (needs a clean)

A real project, a pre war very rusty almost complete (odd screw) rifle bearing the inscription, amid the corrosion, of Diana (I think it is a mod 26)

Now this is either wow or a heap, another project but I think it might be a rare one, no name on it, loads by the barrel being on a sort of bayonet fitting and withdrawing, cocks by the underleaver, could be a repeater (?). Complete except for the main washer (easy, I could have done it but once started . . .) and not sure about the nuts and bolts. Stock is in a very sorry state (with repairs and carvings) as is the little bit of nickle plate (just enough to show that it was). Nearest in the Blue Book is the Daisy model B or H (early 20th C)

Over to you guys, interest? In which case values or just scrap???????

[lodmoor]

Oh dear, no interest? I am lead to belive that the wow or heap is a King 2233, very, very old. Still no interest? Are all our rifle collectors only late 20th century?????
Oh, the old Diana has a bit of (treated) woodworm and the wow etc internals are not corroded, very lubricated and pristine.
Hope this helps or they are off to the dustbin.

Hi Lodmoor,
I hope your heap is worth a lot as I think I have one! Good luck!!

Maybe 15 quid on the Diana 15?

[lodmoor]

£15 for the Diana has been suggested before but of course unless it is a FtF £10 needs to be added for post, but does that make it unattractive?

It is .177 and overall length is 107cms.

OK, I've had a few valuations by PM for the Diana 26 (or 27?) that agree with each other but nothing for the other Diana or the King, can I assume no interest or is it no knowledge?

for some reason cannot see your pictures

[lodmoor]

Dunno why, maybe you personal protection is too high? Pop up etc?
