Skip find, unknown pistol, valuation

[monkeywrench]

Found the item below (if pics work) in the skip at work today and i must admit it's got me a bit flumoxed, it would appear to be in "used" but original condition although the sights may be an aftermarket add on but they do fit very well and enhance its' looks. The calibre at a guess is 2.2 (sic) and the gun itself is of a variable pump up design.

Can i retire early on this one?

Spot on, I once saw a cowboy using one, firing it through a big hole at a window frame

Looks mint to me- what power is it pushing out?

[tinbum]

Wow! That's an old design. Originally made to shoot skelingtons in "Sinbad, this time it's personal!" the skelington gun is almost unheard of as most were lost in a shipwreck caused by a plasticine monster.

...... Agreed. I've got a boxed one that I bought off that cowboy, and fink they are worf farrrrrsends.

It's a left hander so probably a bit less "sellable" than the more common right handed version.

thats the sturmelbangler mk1, made 1898-ten past five,before production moved to,wesselbinder,after that they wernt much good,IMO.

What a shame it's missing it's original sights

A plus point though is that happily it has the very rare optional 5-stage trigger

I have been on here for a couple of years now, and I cannot believe this post has been allowed to run and degenerate into a farce, with all these silly answers and questions

This is supposed to be the sensible part of the forum, where people can find out more about fascinating old collectors pieces, and not some silly schoolboy nonsense the like of which you normally see on modified chav nova forums

A member asked for advice and help, and it seems as if everybody is determined to make fun of the poor guy!

Take the following rubbish as an example

At least I suppose, despite being 1 year out in your dating, and misspelling Wesselbender (an easy mistake granted), you are on the right track about the country of origin......the example shown was both incomplete and sadly non original, and against my normal reserve about posting pics of my REALLY rare and valuable stuff due to security concerns in these turbulent times, and in an effort to get this thread back on track, I have decided to put this matter to rest. Mine is a mint, almost unused example, with 100% finish remaining, and is the ultra-rare 'Bisley special'.....the Germanic origins are now obvious as you can see from the stock, and the rare Parker Hale / Dr Walter Gerhard combination tube sight was a factory option at the time.......I had to wait a long time to obtain this beauty, and the offer of a swap for my mint, boxed and unfired Improved Model D in .25 calibre was something I snapped up before the guy came to his senses !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right..can we get back to "proper' stuff now please!!!!
