    There is a lengthy thread about this on the American Vintage Airguns forum. I don't know if a link is permitted here, so you might have to google it.
    I collect vintage Japanese air rifles & vintage Japanese pellets
    Information sought about antique firearms with Japanese markings, do you have one ?

    Thank you for the info on this i will go and have a look, so does this mean that the given year is a world wide vintage date or just in the states.

    Cheers

    I don't think there's any such thing as an "official" definition of what constitutes a vintage airgun. Some might say the end of WW2, or the beginning of it, others would say the 1950s and even '60s were "vintage" years. I would agree with all these views.
