VALUATION OF 1980 jubilee original 45

[abewilson]

Now that the subject is Original air-rifles I have a
ORIGINAL 45 177 cal. 1980 Jubilee Model from new without a box
Just made the mistake of cocking it and found that I could not de-cock it so I had to fire a pellet into a bag of rags. The effort to cock it surprised me, and I consider myself strong (my wife thinks so) The serial number is 1555.
The question I would like answered is what is it worth ?
Thanks in advance.

Think Allsports of Gloucester had one of these some time ago and I think it was up over £200?

If you could post some pics of the rifle that would help with valuation and create some potential interest as well?

Good luck

Thanks
Dave and Robin I am beginning to form an idea of the price I would let it go for . Having a air rifle for almost 30 years makes it difficult to part with

It has a little lightend colour on the pistol grip where it has rested on the rack other wise it is spotless, the blueing is unmarked. In the next few days I will post some pics. although there is a pic on www.picturetrail.com/abewilson
Thanks for your views

hi all i bought my original 45 jubilee a couple of years ago in as new condition and paid £275 posted so with the current financial situation i still think thats about the right price but like anything its only worth what somebody is willing to pay

Funnily they don't seem to make any premium over a standard one. Probably as the panels don't add to the looks. Mint above £200. Very good £200 and anything else a whole lot less £140 mark. Rough even less.A great rifle that never really caught the collectors imagination. Marmite kind of rifle.
