    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!

    It reminds me of the FEG CO2 pistol that I had even though it was made by the FEG gun factory it still looked hand made I will put a link for anyone who does not now about them. http://airgunenthusiast.weebly.com/f...--177-cal.html

    That is a lovely gun that you have got there the lift up top is a nice idea for much like the FEG where you pull up a leaver to load it that has to be a keeper do not make the mistake that I made and sell it only to regret it later.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    You could say the same about all of the expensive antiques that only the very well off can afford to buy yet people love buying magazines and watching tv programs about them .

    It does look awesome, I also watched it for a while on gunstar. I wonder if there is any clues to when it was made.
