    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
    Well Phil your quite right in what you say ,just how much interest would there be in this pistol , just because
    it's a rather nice bit of kit and only three were made doesn't make it holy grail of pistols !!

    I just wish for my own interest a little bit more info could have been found like the name of the engineer and if it was at all made for some one or a purpose and that would suffice for me

    As for the interest of the general public then I suppose only the editor Terry can decide

    Thanks for your opinion and I appreciate all input no matter how great all small

    Kind regards

    Be much better to do a review of a really obscure rare 'valuable 'pistol made in 1929 by Coggs Bloggs and Harrison of Wolverhampton that shot miserably even when brand new?

    Or the new Grull Thunderballs PCP rifle from Silesia available for £1950 from some importer in Middle Europe.
