    Now that is what I would consider the perfect trio for any springer air rifle collector to aspire to in his collection - and I am not a rifle collector! I do have the Mk 2 and 3 rifles, but have let a few Mk 1's slip through my fingerts in trades for pistols. Maybe it is time for me to get another - or is it too late?

    You can still find them for sale. Though prepare to empty your wallet for one....

    Still can't seem to fathom how to put pics directly on to forum from flikr so this is a link to a great trio.

    Sorry Fozzy, I didn't scroll down the page far enough. Great trio, but your gun room is not an ideal storage area.

    When I started this thread I didn't imagine how many superb examples would turn up from members' collections. Not all were threesomes, but we can forgive you for going astray a bit. Great stuff!

    I just realised that I had an unusual threesome in my collection that didn't fit into any obvious pattern. The only thing that they have in common is that they were patented by famous British gunmaking companies but never actually made it to the market place. So these are really cheats, not vintage pistols at all, but modern reproductions.
