    Britannia Air Gun Darts

    Hi,

    Interesting packet of well used Britannia No1 Darts for sale at internet auction.

    Item No: 371052626298

    Currently £67 with 15 bids. Accessories and paperwork still seem to attract very strong prices especially on the internet.

    Regards

    Brian

    Wow! They are as rusty as old iron as well. I wonder what my 2 unopened packs would fetch?

    Hi,
    These darts date from the 1930s and would have been sold by Frank Clarke, who bought the rights to the Britannia trademark in 1917.

    Kind regards.

    Hi there, reading this thread reminded me I have six packs of 'Gat' darts in .22, 10 darts to a pack, (each pack a grease proof paper envelope), in an outer display box, never been used! I picked them up when a sports shop closed about 25 years ago.
    Pity they're not Britannia branded! But still interesting though.
    BSA First batch, Breakdown, Cadet major, Meteors, Mercurys, Airsporters, Supersport, Superstar, Lightning XL, HW80, Logun S16 mk1, Webley Junior rifle, Relum Tornado, Webley mk1 pistol, ASI Centre pistol, Crosman Medalist 1322.
