Pellet information and valuation please

[Josie & John]

Hi Terr,

The Fagan are prewar - 1930s.

I have one of the larger Beatall boxes, which contains .25 rather than .22 pellets and I believe it to also be pre war. Parker Hale used to advertise these pellets during the 1930s. The smaller Beatall box is post war and was still being sold during the 1970s.

I have seen some crazy prices realised for Beatall pellets such as over £100 for a simple box of .177 but I have also picked up bargains such as 4 full boxes for under £20!

I recently saw a box of Fagan for sale in a gunshop for £20.

Kind regards,

John
