HW 35 Export Value?

[gingernut]

VGC .22 walnut stock.
1980s
The owner only shot it a few times.
But instead of offering to me he has put it in our local toy shop.

They ask £325.
I think £225.

I have input from one friend on here.
What do you chaps think?

I only want it to have the longest barrel in the village.

[Mach 1.5]

Sold mine some months ago...a 1978 version in lovely condition for £200. Now if it was a vixen? Then maybe £275-£300. Mach 1.5

I got a very , very good one on here for £200 posted last year but you should be able to pick up a decent one for around £170

[splosh!]

in no damage close to mint 250 and mates rare 175-225

[Geezer]

Same ballpark: not much over £200, maybe £250-275 at a dealer, depending on how good "VGC" is.

The "toy shop" had better be an RFD, or he's breaking the VCRA.

I bought my first airgun from Toytown.
I think things may have changed a bit since then.

Same here, bought a brand new Webley Premier from a camera shop in Edinburgh in the late 70's and numerous other guns from fishing tackle/sports shops that were not RFD's.

I remember working in the Haymarket in London in the mid 80's and going into Lilywhites at lunchtime to look at the air rifles they had there.

Patrick no more than £200 for that 35E! Strangely I spent ages looking for my 35E until I got one from Keith, but if you've got one to sell they don't exactly fly out the door.

Certainly didnt fly out of the display cabinet in the shop!
Much manoeuvring of barrel required!

Yes if you get it, you will have the longest barrel in the village. I remember years ago a photo in AGW of a 35E with a silencer on!! Now that was long.

I had a silencer on a 35e in the day you could poke a rabbit at 30y saved me loads of cash no pellets . You could also get a 35e with the standard length 19.5" barrel I've got 2 , one is a 1976 importer Edgar Bros , the other is an early synthetic sealed one both very nice guns
