Great stuff, thanks. Really enjoyed seeing it 'in the flesh'. What a dainty gun that is - quite a contrast to the large .22 cal springers on sale in the UK at the time, although I suppose the .177 Light Pattern BSAs are dainty in their own way! Lovely stock on your example.
Impressive how the mechanism dismantles so easily. Good access for lubrication.
I wonder what the Brits would have made of it if it had been on the market here in the '30s? Pumping air into eg. air canes would have been well within living memory, so not so strange. The power would have impressed too.
