    I was torn in half by the choice of a BSA Mercury S or a Sharp Innova , think i made the right choice in picking the merc, but still have never seen or handled a sharp.

    Wanted a webley Junior, got one, (still got it) then a Webley tempest, (still got it) then an HW 35 and an HW80.........well you get the picture, still got them all and still finding new 'must haves' 30 years later

    The biggest dissapointment was the Saxby Palmer Ensign....I wanted one for years but was bitterly dissapointed when I finally got one.

    Anything Theoben, but in particular the Theoben Imperator FT... A close second would have been the GC2...

    Pistols never really interested me

    I really wanted an SA Jackal too, also a BSA Buccaneer. I've got a lot of airguns now but neither of those sadly. One day...

    The break barrel Relum in the window of Ken's Western Store in Manor Park. After I managed to scrape together the money, it was mine. It was probably the first thing that I ever made an effort to save for.
    I collect vintage Japanese air rifles & vintage Japanese pellets
    Information sought about antique firearms with Japanese markings, do you have one ?
