    A Lincoln Air Pistol

    For Sale.

    A rare one. These were made in small numbers during the 1920s by the firm of Lincoln Jeffries and less than 2000 are believed to have been manufactured. This is the design the Walther LP53 was based upon and my example comes in the standard .177 rifled configuration. The pistol is complete, other than no screw to secure the mainspring cap, although the latter stays put as it is a screw fit itself. The action cocks and fires smoothly and the low profile sights are complete and original. The barrel locks up securely and the sear is safe. Stampings are mostly readable and finish is a smooth patina overall. The original knurled barrel pivot screw can be used to dismantle the barrel without tools and the design is a unique one. The pistol is capable of what I describe as 'tin can accuracy' rather than 'match accuracy' in that it can demolish a tin can at a realistic distances rather than achieve 1 hole groups at the same ranges. £425 inc. postage by RMSD
