hw35 luxus?,sharp innova,tempest valuations

[simonsph]

Hi, I`m thinking of selling these three and was wondering about their values.
The hw35 is,I think, a luxus. It is a bit rough but all there.(see pics).Its .22.
The innova is in good original condition,minus rear sight.Its .177.
The tempest is in good working order and is .22.
I also have a brand new valve kit for the innova(valve+ spring and seals)and the easyway guide,all from TRRobb.
Any views on values would be most welcome.

hw35 looks std to me,looks like someone has gone to the trouble of chequering the pistol grip,luxus did'nt have the groove in the forend,luxus also had a raised monte-carlo style cheek piece.std is still worth £100 all day long though

No that is a 35 Luxus. Before about 1980 they had the rounded pistol grip and the Bayern raised cheak piece. Also 13mm scope rails, about 1976 from the serial no and a Hofman variant.

Rare beast but poor condition, £100 appears about right.

Looks about right to me, The Innova has no rear sight, A £20+ option if you can find one ! Ged.

Catching up on my much needed beauty sleep.

You have to remember that the HW35 has a production run of over 50 years and is STILL a very competent rifle today with one of the best, if not THE best triggers on the market. Its like the Moggy 1000 being suitable for todays roads.
Stocks mainly came in standard, deluxe (Luxus) and Export styles (see here) with a few lesser variants like the thumb hole (Lochschaft), Safari and a few special limited editions.

Hi I.J. I thought that you would have added a gold plated one to that lovely collection by now! Jenny Dipple

This one of simons is a hoffman import model & shoots quite well at just under 12ftlbs I've shot it & seen it chrono'd.

Strangely enough I was recently offered one. One of the three rifles presented to the Bontoft brothers of Hull Cart. Co for services rendered but not very practical.
There was also a couple of gold plated Weihrauchs (HW77 & 80) for sale on this BBS.
