Very nice mate!
I live in the US and while there are still plenty of them for sale in generally speaking, there ARE NOT lots of like new or mint vintage ones left or ones you would call "COLLECTABLE" from the 50-80's
These all original or 95% + guns are starting to dry up and they sell VERY VERY FAST in the States.
I recently sold a most beautiful figured 1981 Sheridan Silver Streak , the walnut was at least hi AA grade or low AAA . It sold in one day...!!!!
People are finding the crosman made sheridans to be inferior in terms of quality and and materials.
The old Sheridan Co was sold about 1977 to Benjamin. For the most part Benjamin left them alone and quality remained good.
There are lots and lots of very minor details that started to disappear as early as the late 50's and this continued on till today . Always a way to save a bit on production cost.
My favorites are the 49-53 models. The Hold down saftey years are all great crafted and nice wood . The ones with the straight small bolt handle are my favorites.
I still have a 1967 Blue Streak , my mother bought me for a birthday present as a young lad.
During college stay from home ,I missed my ol Sheridan so bad, so I went to the local gun shop , and bought myself another Blue Streak , a 79 model . It is still in the original box with the bill of sale to this day. The 79 model shoots as hard as the 1967 Blue Streak, but finer finish and details had went away by 1979.
You have a sweet collection.
BTW... the finish was far more delicate on the Blue Streaks , and thus almost no mint ones have survived , the Silver streaks seem to be have treated much kinder. A 100% early Blue streak is a prized find.

A very nice couple...how many months did it take to persuade Customs that these guns were perfectly legal for import!

You have a very nice collection there and your new guns fit right in. If your wife does not know how many guns you have, just tell her you sold a couple to buy these two new ones.

I agree - they look great.
Surprised (and pleased) to hear you had so little trouble importing them.
Think you should take a leaf out of a females book - when questioned "is that a new dress" they reply "no I've had it ages"
Just do the same with your guns.
Whos the odd one out now
Sell the missus!.

They just don't understand do they, mine thinks the same, my response is that you might think I've got enough already but I don't!
