Falke 90 .22

[abewilson]

I am having to take a very a Deep Breath….

A opportunity to own a FALKE 90 air rifle serial Number 83..I repeat that

A FALKE 90 air rifle serial Number 83.

This FALKE rifle has been in my possession for over 30 years.

The .22 calibre is the lesser of the two calibres.

This rifle with all its faults is for sale at £400 Plus P/P.

Included in the price is a half finished Diopter sight (thanks to Garvin for the specifications he gave me for partly making it). I began making it at evening classes till the classes were halted not having a lathe proved a expensive venture.

The Butt plate has been repaired can be seen in a picture no attempt to colour the repair, pics on request !

Other flaws.

The beech stock (maybe walnut ) is original with only slight dinks and scratches on surface with a small black stain.

The underneath of the stock has a inch approx. section of wood missing.

The foresight is not original ? but the one on the rifle when purchased 30 years ago.
The underside metal trigger plate is missing !

The metal work has no blueing left but a patina covering all the metal.

The internals have not seen the light of day, the spring seems powerful.
This gun has not been fired since being in my possession

One screw is missing otherwise complete and original more pics on request or arranged personal inspection.

Seems a good spot to start - have been given a Falke 90 (number 56) a few years ago. Live in Australia and can't find out much about them. Not a collector so would probably sell but once again live in Australia (strict gun laws I suspect on postage as well) Any thoughts on value (usual wear and tear but works extremely well) has peep sights front sight seems incomplete any help appreciated..

Peter you can find a lot of background info about Falkes here. But I have no idea about the current value of these rifles in Australia. I do know they come up for sale in Oz from time to time, so plenty must have been exported there in the '50s.

Hey Guys! Don't do this to me!
I was making room in the armoury for this one too!- before a less hurried read indicated that it is already there!
