    As its hand made it might be fairly easy to repair.
    Certainly worth a few hundred Quid.

    Why aren't more air pistol enthusiasts whooping about this ?

    Is the green-eyed monster in attendance?

    It's gorgeous. It reminds me of the Wildey .475 Magnum without a ventilated rib.

    Actually - I'm bloody jealous

    If it was a Webley with a screw out of place we would be on page three by now.

    I also remember this on gunstar and the high price which put me off, but it is very nice, love the design of it especially the long barrel and well done getting it at hopefully a price you were happy with.

    Haha... I think it's lovely too, but the OP is asking if anybody knows anything more about it - which perhaps nobody else does.

    Same here. Not my kind of thing, but very impressive. I just don't know a flying thing about it.

    What we need is a YouTube video of this. An on the bench walk-down and then some shooting scenes.

    Go on - show it off!

    This pistol is a precision engineering marvel. It is utterly fabulous and beautiful.

    I really wouldn't be able to put it away in its case. Thank you for sharing OP.

    I'm going to do a review for the AirGun World Magazine and I thought about taking it to the Hatfield show
    and leaving it with Terry If he agrees and there is enough interest,what does everyone think as I'd love to know more about it
    Ps thanks everyone who's shown interest

    Don't get me wrong, Dean. I think it's a marvelous pistol, but with respect:

    1) How much general appeal would it have in AGW - given that it is a pistol, not only that but a target pistol, and it seems only 3 were ever made?

    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?

    The guy who made it apparently only made three and this was the third.
    He was a Polish engineer who is now sadly passed.
    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
