    old daisy - info wanted

    Hi all,

    Looking for info and value on a very old daisy bought in a mixed lot. It's in exceptionally good condition for its age. Cocks and fires perfectly.

    Not sure of value, but the most important info' is missing from the pics:

    Is it complete with the barrel (normally a crude rolled tin tube) which slides in the muzzle end and locks by screwing a knurled nut.

    Yes it is - rolled brass, clips in to place.

    Hard to tell if the stock has been refinished, the rest looks original, I would have thought a collector would part with £120 or so.

    Others may disagree.

    Looks original to me. No sign of refinishing. Looks like it's seen very little use.

    Note: intended to shoot lead air rifle shot, not modern BBs.

    Don't have my Blue Book of Airguns handy, but, this is a turn of the century era Daisy and is valuable. Easily $200-$300.

    Looks completely correct for Daisy's of that era. Probably would get best price in the US.

    Looks like one called 20th Century Sheet Metal Frame Single Shot, 1903 to 1910. 90% condition value $325. .180 calibre should be a peep type sight with hole ?

    Daisy 20th century

    Yes its an early 20th century, I've just sent one from my collection to the US sold it for £100 Its a job to find
    collectors of early Daisy guns here in the UK, but I love them there are still a few over here in the UK.But for a collector
    like me getting hard to find so that's what value I would put on it.
