    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

    Here's a couple more pics of her.... She is so un-used she still smells of the BSA factory & probably got more thumbprints from the man that built her than mine!..

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