    I remember these - I think the pellets were made by Cammell of Champion pellets fame. They are not often encountered today, so I guess technically can be considered relatively rare. However, I don't think they are considered a 'must have' by serious pellet collectors and are not worth the same as some other contemporary brands such as Webley Grand Prix or even 'proper' Eley Wasps.

    Kind regards,

    John

    I think you asked the same question over a year ago.... http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....llectors-items

    I don't believe they have increased in collectability since

    Got a photo of the packaging out of interest?

    I bought OX nato bullets and OX full metal jacket pellets about 20 years ago and they were in just small clear packets.

    Interesting... I have Ox NATO in printed cardboard boxes and OX Copperpoint in hard plastic cases with clear labels, but I have never seen them in unbranded bags.
    Unfortunately the lack of packaging (which supports that what is in the bag is correct) renders them almost worthless in my book and I do collect some interesting examples of contemporary pellets.
    My advice would be just use them...
