And on the rifle side of things:

Greener
Musketeer
Anson
Various MkIII Webleys
Various old BSAs
Some Haenels
And what I am pretty sure is a Britannia, listed as a "GEM (?)"

I used to own a spring clip Webley mk 1 SN 515. They could have made a not so fine matched pair

See my calculating attempts to make a final figure for a purchase - think I'll wait for the next Birmingham

I can't live in the same town and not go and look but it's unlikely I'll bid there anymore.
Did make a contact there though once and sold him all the old stuff I no longer wanted, so we both did well out of it.

I may get shot down here for asking so forgive me but here goes......Laurie Mole?

[B&W FOX]

I don't know either who Laurie Mole was, but he liked collecting airguns

May be he's Adrian Moles brother

He was Adrian's grandfather on the Jewish side of the family, they lived in Greece most of their lives before coming here to settle down and open a shop selling jellied eels.
