Just look at all is items for sale (including those sold)..

that's a very serious collection

.25 cal BSA stutzen (sold), loads of giffards, imagine what he's keeping if this is a thin out !

Lol .... yes some nice toys there . A mixed bag it seems , with some 'modern stuff ' as well but some nice collectibles .
Read recently in a magazine I got given me called Shooting & Conservation ( Nov.Dec ) the magazine for posh frolics in the countryside , that the .25cal Stutzen you mention are super super rare . Beautiful looking thing . Gave a 'Heads-Up' thread last night also on the BSA Junior Airrifle - a lot of money , but mate said very few made . Expensive or what for a dinky toy gun ( being totally facetious ).
Then the Harper Wolf , mint , boxed . Phewwwww . Thankfully too modern for me ...Lol

Think I will stop scanning that Free ads site and go back to me Superstar and rusty Cadet

mmmmm......
....so they really are still out there.
The 'shot shell' model sounds intriguing.

Sadly not the right timing for me.
But, whoever gets any of these (assuming they are members) PLEASE let us know so we can all enjoy some more pics and details.

..fraid me too . Am still saving for a Umarex Colt 45 Revolver , and at this stage it'll be next Xmas Lol.
These old toys arelovely mind . I did a Google on the computer , and the Giffards that come up more often seem to be all ball firing ?
These are shottie shell ....and found some references to them using little packets of lead shot - thats why there is that huge long long breech opening slot so they slide in . Fascinating ! I can just see me with one down Severn Foreshore , sat behind me net . Nahhh - strapped to the wall above the fireplace
more like.
Did see one( only one ) similar on Gunstar - from a dealer , at a LOT more money , nearly £1300 ?????????? If I had £800 to invest in an antique I know where I would be heading .
