Another oddity

[monkeywrench]

Another one from the cupboard

Bought with a BSA L many moons ago as a job lot, don't know an awful lot about it, sling appears original, cocks and fires (weakly) although never put anything through it. Appears to be a strange BB? size.

Your thoughts.......

That's a Daisy no.40 military, according to Henry Krank, who have one for sale at the moment.

Quite valuable if their pricing means anything.

That's a Daisy Model 40 "Military Model"

1916 to 1932 manufacture.

Axccording to Hiller it's quite rare

I reckon you've done rather well getting that as part of a deal

[MattyBoy]

Beaten to it by Garvin as usual

Hmmmm
Been sitting at back of cupboard fo best part of 30 yrs, paid no mind to it.
At a local auction went after a tidy Model L and it came with it aswell as a Diana Mod 2 pop out. Mr Kranks' price as usual is prob a bit loaded but nethertheless a pleasant surprise.

I think the gun originally came with a bayonet, however these usually got lost over time

[MattyBoy]

Even without the bayonet yours has to be well worth cleaning uop and restoring sensitively.

Must be worth 150 - 200 quid as it stands - in your cupboard with the brooms
