    Hello!

    Hello everyone I have been reading the collectable airgun posts for a few weeks and it has inspired me to dig out my old air guns and give them a clean. Since moving from the Peak District to Tamworth 10 years ago i have not used them due to lack of time and open spaces

    My guns are as follows

    177 Lincoln Jeffries (made in germany number 10459) any idea of age/value?

    22 Webley Premier bought in about1970 this has been polished and nickel plated
    still works fine. again any idea of value ?

    and last but by no means least
    22 Bsa Scorpion modified with a skeleton shoulder stock and still has the front sight cowl and silencer/cocking handle again an idea of value please

    Hi There,

    Here is my take on the info you need, other members will be alone to agree or disagree later........

    Lincoln Jeffries ( probably Millita pattern).177 Date = around 1900-1905 ish

    Value £100-£145

    Webley Premier, working - polished and Nickle Plated £85

    BSA Scorpion Pistol, adapted for shoulder stock etc etc £90-£110

    Hope that is useful, however all prices offered 'sight unseen'. Clear good quality photos would get you more accurate price estimates.

    All the best

    Welcome to collectables.

    You're more likely to get a reasonable idea of values if you can post links to detailed, well lit and sharp pics of your guns. At very least a detailed description of the condition would be helpful.

    Edit: oops, I started this post, went away and came back to it without seeing Lakey's post.

    ... Nah, and the WANT request, was imo, just friendly wish-list welcoming banter, and not an attempt to buy.

    With that serial no., plus made in Germany, it can't be a pistol.
