- £35-40 for the Gamo Falcon.
- £50-55 for the working Scorp.
- £20-25 for the other one.

I would be most grateful for some guidance as to what I should be asking for these three pistols:
El Gamo .177 - a lovely little pistol, this is one of my favourites to shoot, partly because it has a cocking lever so there's no inaccuracy due to movement between the barrel and action. It has full front and rear sights, fires well and is in pretty good condition apart from some tiny rust spots on the barrel and forward part of the action. These would almost certainly come out with a small amount of attention with wire wool.

BSA Scorpion .22 RA2400 - an early model with the small writing along the top of the action. It has the cocking aid and full sights. There is a small patch of rust on the right hand side of the action, just below the rear sight adjustment wheel - as shown in the relevant photo. It shoots well, and the safety catch works. There is a non-standard screw holding the underside of the body onto the action at the rear, just about where your wrist goes when you're holding it properly.

BSA Scorpion .22 - for restoration, it is an early model with the small writing along the top of the action. It needs work and does not cock properly. It has no rear sight, and no shroud for the front sight. It has horrible paint black over the action with various bare patches here and there. The piece of plastic that goes on the end of the pistol grip is missing, although it is possible that I've got a spare one somewhere.

Thank you, that's most helpful!Originally Posted by Geezer

secret santa brought me both of these pistols at christmas
I know for a fact t#hat he paid 50 pounds posted for the both of them and that was an absolute steal..
The falcon is a capable target pistol and Id value it at 50 quid..
the first scorpion id say 60-70 and the second Id say 30-40.
the reason I value a bit higher on the scorpion is that I had a scorpion grip that I sold on recently for 25 plus postage which shocked me. I also had an original scorpion faux leather slip which went for 20 odd.. the grips can be brought back from beyond with very high grit paper and then autosol..
broken for parts you will make OK money on the worse of the 2, complete its worth what its worth as a fixer upper.

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

OK, I'll go with Donald's numbers too. May have been feeling a bit post-xmas miserly!
