If so, a maximum of 3 people can own examples of this pistol at any one time. So it's not likely that AGW readers will ever come across one.

Rarity is interesting, but not rarity alone... if another engineer made a single 'one-off' pistol - it would not automatically be more interesting than yours.

Rare models from known manufacturers can perhaps be more interesting, because there's much more info' to get stuck in to. The interest generated around the world about the (suspected?) Walther LP52 for example.

2) How much more is there to know about your pistol?



Further details would I'm sure be of interest to you, but again - perhaps not all that interesting to the general airgunning public?

Just my thoughts on the subject... Phil
Interesting airguns do not have to be rare .
Custom airguns - made from the ground up will always be interesting to any serious airgunner - even if they don't 'collect ' .
It inspires people when they see what can be done by one man in his garden shed .
Used to be what WE here were famous for .
gingernut has hit the nail on the head - so much fabricated rubbish out there - all ex factory with full factory provenance .
Not everyone on this forum wants to buy yet another Webley Senior and then start mulling over serial numbers
