    Help Needed identifying a vintage gun

    Hi,
    Anyone able to help me identify what this is and how old it might be.

    Similar to a Tell One or an Oskar Will. I cant find any www pictures that are quite the same though.

    Any advice much appreciated

    I think it is probably a cut-down FLZ Original V.

    You should test its power in case it's over the 6ft/lbs limit for air pistols, unless its overall length keeps it a rifle anyway...

    Thanks for the great advice. I have written to the guy I am buying from and adked him to confirm the gun is legal. If he can't guarantee this I will cancel the purchase. Even if he is confident and I decide to go ahead I will run it through my chronograph when it arrives to be sure.

    Seller has confirmed this is old gun and well under 6 ftlbs. Will double check though...

    Hi you can always put a rifle stock back on it and use it as a carbine, you would be ok with that.
