    Never seen the pumper or the boxes for either pistol.
    Well done!

    The co2 pistol is one of my favourites.
    You do need to warn your shooting pals before you fire it

    Wow well done! See them occasionally over here but never boxed or in that condition. I agree that is character, love it. The pumper is the rarest one and I think it came in two calibers. Do they fire?

    I would argue that!
    Especially my no 1 Plainsman.

    Certainly more reliable than my Schimel

    Although my Schimel lets out a pretty loud crack, I also have a Smith & Wesson 78G which has been chronographed at just over 5 ft/lbs and sounds much louder. I get an almost wicked satisfaction when my fellow mainly PCP shooting club members reach for the ear defenders when I'm at the firing point.

    Regards

    yes they both shoot really well the pneumatic shocked me when it fired a .22 through 2 tv mags into the wall the wife was not happy even more so when I could not take the smile off my face that was at 10 pumps I now reduced it to 5 when indoors , to be honest I am not sure the boxes are original they are in the style and done well think the jury is out on that one original/copy ??? has anyone seen a .177 pneumatic ?

    Yes I saw a .177 pneumatic, the guy I was negotiating with had pics but had sold it. Still had the 22 I’ll see if I still have the pics. The .177 is the rarer I believe.

    I believe so I have not yet seen a .177 USA was more into the .22 calibre back then so I guess if they are around there wont be many , shame you didn't get hold of that .177 a rare pistol with a rare calibre very nice .
