    scalemead and sussex arms

    hi all. i know this is a big ask, but does anyone have any copies of the scalemead arms or sussex arms company catalogues from the early eighties. I figured if anybody would know where i could find one it would be in this section.

    I sold a 'Sussex Armoury' 1981 catalogue on here some time back. I didn't scan it, but I might have made a photocopy before I sold it. I will have a look amongst my papers if that would be of use to you.
    I collect vintage Japanese air rifles & vintage Japanese pellets
    Information sought about antique firearms with Japanese markings, do you have one ?

    I have Sussex Armoury catalogues as follows:
    10th Anniversary 1978/79 (it unfolds as opposed to being stitched)
    1980 (this also unfolds etc)
    1981 (stitched) also
    Military Division, A5 size mono, 1979/80 and January 1980 (no airguns, all militaria).

    Scalemead Arms Company cat no.6 1989

    I also have the capability to scan them (in colour of course). Email me and let me know what you are looking for and I will see if I can help.

    If there is enough interest here I could consider making a repro one(?) or a composite relating to air guns(?).

    I'd definitely be interested in some scans - particulary of the pages relating to the the 'Jackal' variants.....

    Scans would be very welcomed.

    Always good to look back at old ads.

    Kind regards,

    Late scans

    An apology to all waiting for me to do some scanning, there are very good reasons.

    I will start forthwith and post same on photobucket as .jpg files.

    I look at those catalogue pages now and I'm shocked at how cheap the prices were. However, I remember looking at them at the time and thinking how expensive the guns were. Except for the Panther pistols; I saved up my money one year and bought one when we went on holiday. It was rubbish!
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.
