    Can anyone spot the real rarity?

    Every now and then a really rare airgun crops up in a sale and goes unrecognised, meaning that the observant collector has the chance to pick up something very special at a knock-down price. I spotted one such gun on the current Saleroom website, under air pistols (http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/se...Term=startDate ). So here's a question for you - can anyone spot the rarity? If no one else finds it, all will be revealed well before the auction date so that anyone interested can put in a bid.

    Close, but not quite close enough. The one I am thinking of is so rare that I am pretty sure no collector in this country has one.

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    Nah, I think you mean the LP52, of which there's only apparently one!

    I am having a look down the items. There seems to be a Russian copy of a Zenit there, which I am guessing would be pretty rare?

    Yes it has to be that one.

    The Lincoln looks larger than those I've handled.

    Maybe the "Hy Score Jumior G60" - in .22 at that? Don't know if this is somehow related to the American Hy-Score branded guns but I've never heard of such a model.
