[Old Bull]

The BSA Air Rifle – serial no. N14378 .177 calibre. It is 43 ½ inches long. It is stamped “BSA Air Rifle made by Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited on the top of the cylinder. It is also stamped “The Lincoln Jeffries Patent” underneath the barrel. It has had a poor re-blueing job done and it has a fixing screw missing from the trigger guard. The butt has the BSA trademark showing the three rifles and a mark where somebody has had it in a vice. Apart from that, it has a nice sweet action and fires well with power.

A Haenel Model 11 D.R.P. 0.177 calibre with flip up and down sights. It is 43 ¼ inches long and it is stamped “Made in Germany” with the numbers “1 9 31 E” stamped underneath the barrel (presumably the date). It has a reasonable patina on the metal and stock gained with age. It has the odd mark on the metal and on the stock and it has a couple of screw heads that have been mullered. However, it is a good looking rifle that fires nicely.

Well at the risk of being flamed to a crisp for offering an opinion when we all know that valuations aren't worth the paper they're not written on (), I'd hazard a guess at somewhere between about £100 and £130 for the BSA - no more due to the poor reblue - and between £110 and £140 for the Haenel (a bit less if it's a smoothbore).
