Happy youthful days which is now why minty boxed examples are worth so much.
Still sold ir for a fiver though in 1965.
Also had 227 B'ham 4 which was given to my son some some years ago.
I will also look at the numbers on the cutaway model I showed a while ago.
Kind regards,
Chris.
Thanks Chris,
I used to shoot those plastic caps that were intended for key ring pistols in a smoothbore Junior. Very spectacular in the dark but not to be recommended as it probably corroded the barrel!

Kind regards,

John
