    yes they are worth money

    Get some piccys done and post some more detail n the collectables section and you will probably have either some price advice or something to keep

    According to some 'leading lights' on here,

    50-100 years old = Veteran

    120+ years = Vintage, possibly worth bothering with.


    But no doubt they have told you this in their uninvited PM's .



    (good news about the Rabbit though ).

    Hi Scotty,

    They both may well be worth a bit, the best thing to do is get some photos up to show the condition (use photobucket / flikr etc. and post a linky)

    Also, a better description, combined with any serial numbers etc. will help.

    Most on here will give an honest opinion of what they are worth, then if you decide that you want to move them on, the procedure is to start a new (sales) thread, either in the sales section, or in this section....many people put the items in sales where they will get more views, but post a "headsup" and link in this section along the lines of;

    For Sale...BSA...xxx whatsit......see sales section...

    I hope this helps mate......

    P.S......"are old airguns worth anything/".some are!....

    (this is a dealer, and the price he has is a bit over the top (well, a lot)....but you can get back up the floor now)

    As has said, you will probably have just as much fun using them yourself as you will your new Rapid. For what you will get for them, keep and enjoy them.
