Hi,

Just thought I would share this picture of the latest and probably the last addition to my collection of early English spring air pistols.

This one is the large A.G. Parker Crank Wound Air Pistol dating from around 1922 and probably the most ungainly design you will come across. They are however very rare with less than 250 ever being made during their short production period. I started by collecting just Webley pistols but this soon led to other English designs eg Acvoke, ABAS Major, Lincoln, Warrior, Titan etc and finally four of the rarest designs which I have been lucky enough to get together in just one year these being Ansons Star, Westley Richards Highest Possible (Concentric), Cogswell & Harrison Certus and finally the Parker.

This doesn't mean I am giving up collecting but will now concentrate on ephemera such as Oil Cans , Pellet Tins, Literature etc to give my wallet a bit of a rest !


Regards

Brian
