Last weekend I bought a BSA .22 air rifle from a car boot sale for £25. The Serial No. is DS 37653 it looks like a Supersport but I can't find the DS prefix on any lists of identification numbers. Can anyone help to confirm it is a Supersport.

That's an Lightning (a Supersport with Maxigrip scoperail), with an after-market moderator.
A real bargain you got there.

Thanks Bart.
Its a shame but I have an empty box for a Supersport so I will have to keep looking to see if I can find another.

I don't think it's a Lightning. It's a Supersport Carbine. The DS prefix denotes .22 Supersport. I think the Carbine had the Maxigrip rail as standard, and was fitted with the silencer adapter/muzzle weight (yours has a silencer screwed into it). You could also fit open sights (it would have come with them fitted as standard).
The Lightning, I think, had no facility for open sights and had a permanently fitted silencer.
