Pretty sure this is a quite scarce 65K (short) if anyone's interested? You'll have to persuade the seller to post to UK if that's where you are, or get a friendly German to send it on to you.

I see that the seller of the Tell 3 is also selling its box as a separate item. An interesting psychological ploy to maximise sales income. The keen buyer of the pistol will probably be desparate to get the box, but will have to bid against all those owners of a Tell 3 who also want a box, and who will probably be less strapped for cash and able to bid sky high.Originally Posted by 45flint
It will be worth watching to see what the grand total is.

Interesting ploy but not sure that's the way to play it. I think you hurt the value of a mint pistol without a box. A mint pistol boxed may attraction more attention and more I must have it bids?I see that the seller of the Tell 3 is also selling its box as a separate item.

You could be right, but the pistol looks so good he may be calculating it'll make a good price without the box. We'll see very soon...
If it doesn't sell at 1,800 euros, he's left hiimself time to drop the starting price and try again before the box auction ends. Chicken and egg spring to mind.

Sad really, if I owned something that rare it would kill me to break it up, for a couple bucks. It's a museum piece really.You could be right, but the pistol looks so good he may be calculating it'll make a good price without the box. We'll see very soon...

I think the short barrel is more common in the US since beeman imported mostly short barrels. Over here there are not as many.

This is right. Judging from the number of short-barrelled 65s being sold on eGun.de (very unusual), I think the ratio of long to short barrels may be as few as 100:1. But it's only an impression. Apparently the model 90 was made with a short barrel too, although I've never seen one.

The examples I have have all got a 6" barrel (muzzle to block) and the '66 is sleeved.

That is nice. I love me some FWB's.

Thanks for that Danny, wondered where the weird screwdriver I have came from.

Very nice.
How do you rate the '90? Personally I dont get on with it and find my '65 more accurate.

You got to many there Garvin, no wonder I can't really find nice ones. No but really, you have the same thoughts as me from what I see. You can never have to many FWB's in my opinion. They are my favorite guns.

Ian like you I prefer the 65s and think the 90 is a bit of an oddity. The mechanical triggers were so good, I don't really see the point of an electronic trigger. I suppose FWB were just 'keeping up with the Joneses' (Very nice.

I must have spent hundreds of hours plinking with a 65. Part of the fun is knowing that it was a top-end match pistol in its day.
