Lovely looking things
Only wish a vintage Britannia would turn up there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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 !
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
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

..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 .
