Also you have two there I'm looking for in the 50 and the Stirling.
I think anyone lucky enough to peruse your whole collection would come away totally in awe.
Unfortunately the Sterling went years ago, I swapped it for a cruddy Gamo 1200 (Must have taken leave of my senses )

The tiger striped Airsporter was faked by me!!

I used a pencil type blowlamp to burn lines in to the stripped beach then rubbed it back lightly the oiled it with a load of layers of BLO..

I do however have a few Original 50's



Here's an Original mod 50 that I did the same thing with but rubbed it back too much (Got carried away!!) I couldn't be bothered to re do it!, I think i'll do it again eventually!!
