people collect all manner of air weapons,scopes and related.their are always rare or exotic models.webley service rifles increase im told 20% yearly ,i think it should be what floats your boat.it will consume you as it has us all.

By asking the question you have taken the first step to admitting that you are an air gun addict! The problem is it won't help you, just don't let your wife see what arrives in the post

Tell the wife you've just sold one of your Titan Mohawks to me and you are taking her out for a meal on the profit!

If your looking for a multi pump pneumatic consider one or more of the Sharp models.
Don't bother with the 'Ten a penny' average condition Innova models that come up on a fairly regular basis, only go for one that is in excellent to mint condition if you want an investment.
Same applies to the Ace model, slightly less common than the Innova, again only buy a top flight example.
Now we come to the 'Hens Teeth' models, the Victory and Pan Target. These seldom surface, if a working model comes up that needs cosmetic work then do give it due consideration.......But price's will be strong even on tired models.
(Don't hesitate to contact me by email (Address in my profile) if you need advice on any of the above)
Or you could invest in one or more of the superb collectable springers that have been and will be suggested.

Webley pistols and pre-war BSA under-lever rifles are a safe bet, as in good condition these will ALWAYS move on well. Failing that, go for a modern(ish) classic rifle like a Webley Omega (in either cal), a (walnut) Webley Longbow in .177, a (walnut) BSA Mercury-S (either cal), an FWB Sport 127 (.22) and/or an FWB Sport 124 (.177), as these will also quickly convert back to cash, too. Hope this (sort of) helps. Atb: G.

Agreed, i was stunned when i put a thread up asking for a valuation of my old Webley Senior.Webley pistols and pre-war BSA under-lever rifles are a safe bet, as in good condition these will ALWAYS move on well.

From 1980 onwards they need to be mint, or as near as dammit. If to shoot then no need to go mint but get the best you can.
Pre 1980 then you need to do your research as though condition matters its the desirability and scarcity that counts. Value can go down to the Serial Number, numbers made and less common models. Lots out there but few with real added value so know your stuff. There are fakes and all sorts of stuff going on which all makes it interesting.
Buy it if you like it but never think its an investment other than owning it for a while. Most collectors are happy if they break even. (Petrol, postage, lost interest and time don't count

Nails Mc Fugger
cant do that mate
what you can do though is ask for a valuation / pictures will help
and then offer for sale in a SEPARATE thread ( either here or in sales
keeps you out of trouble that way
