    This gun comes with a long story... I won't bore you with it but it was bought in the 1960's (so I'm told) for: £7.2-6 It's not had much of a life... it's fired all of 20 pellets out of this original box of pellets that were bought with it, which is here in the box also.

    The more I look at it, the more I'm thinking of keeping it

    I'd say that has to be worth £250 to £300 of anyone's money.
    Happy Shooting!! Paul.

    Hi Michelle,

    What a lovely rifle and box. I agree with Paul - got to be £250+ as it would be difficult to find a better example.

    Kind regards,
    John
