    Rough estimates as no photos...

    HW35E, 150 quid

    FWB 124, 250 quid

    Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

    More realistic price depending on condition for these guns are,
    HW35e up to £200 and FWB £200-225.
    IMO.

    More "realistic" than my "rough estimates"?

    Bang on estimate (because Im waiting in for a parcel and Im bored.) :

    HW35 - £155 but if its .177 £165 because of the 'no open sights' and the patina.

    FWB Sport - £255 because its the .177 and has the open sights and good condition.

    Cheers gents for the birthday greetings.

    My best birthday present was this: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...tml?sort=4&o=2 The club 'Gladys' is now known as Claude Bicats (note the fore head). I'm going to send him the cleaning bill for my trousers.

    Happy birthday fella.
    Only now getting around to picking up a Diana classic. Hmmm. Methinks your standards are slipping. You should have had a '45 years ago
    All the best mate

    You should have mentioned it was your birthday as we could have had a party. You could have invited the Gladys cat to try for a repeat performance as the scratches are not symmetrical and spoil his stunning looks.
    Happy 70th anyway!

    I liked my 177 45, one I wish I'd kept. It liked super domes, which I always find one of the best 177 hunting pellets in a rifle that likes them.
    Was a higher cocking effort than the 22 though as you'd expect with leather washers, which imo they shoot best with. The last great leather piston head rifle
    Looking for TO-6 Trigger unit unmessed with or T0-6 kit for 34

    I.J. 45's so much better than 35's.... Happy birthday. Find some scopes for them for Christmas as they look undressed without them to me (sure you already have the mounts).


    Think prices have edged up in the last few years. 35's, 45's and Sports are always in demand as they are good rifles. Bangs for bucks the 45 was always a winner. Just love my .177.
