HW 80 no hull cartridge mark

[gumbob]

Hi all, I bought a HW80 in .177 today at a car boot sale. Its in pretty good nick and was a good price. I now notice it hasn't got the hull cartridge stamp on the barrel. Does this mean its a chinese copy or something? I have another in .22 and it looks exactly the same.

Cheers

Nope not a fake...just Hull Cartridge maybe didn't import it. Just like the early 80's no stamp on them. Mach 1.5

I have a HW35e that doesn't say Weihrauch on it!!

It says EUSTA in a diamond!!

It was another importer I think!!

I was told on the HW forum that it's a fake!!

My 1983 HW80 was bought from Optima Leisure Products and has Edgar Brothers engraved between the scope rails, a much nicer place to mark the rifle than the barrel like HC do.

I can imagine which div on there told you it was a fake John.


I have a 35E with Edgar Brothers stamped on it --- worth so much more than those common old Hull Cartridge guns.

It even has the little pube shaped checkering panel in front of the trigger guard as well.





All the best Mick

I can't remember who said it Mick but I can go back and look for the thread to see who it was

I have another Non safety catch 35e that has the same chequering panel!!!

Sportsman Gun Centre Weirhauchs are bought in direct.They are not stamped Hull Cartridge and they must have sold a hell of a lot through their 3 outlets.
