I'm no expert, but if I saw that for sale for £200, I'd buy it.

Raise you £50.
Very rare pistol.
Very rare in US where they were made, and in that condition!
US "Blue Book" value in 2014 for one in 95% condition (no mention of box) was $600 (= about £427). 60% condition $300 (but no mention of box).
So I'd say at least £250, maybe more - especially if you put it in an auction, and got two keen buyers trying to get it.
The values in Blue Book of Airguns are estimates, not based on prices realized at sales.
I assume that this is a .22 cal gun. If .177, you've hit the jackpot.
I can't recall seeing very many, if any, sales for this gun. It's certainly a worthwhile collectable. $300-$400 would be my guess. Although rare, there really isn't a lot of demand for these, from what I can tell.
I think it would be difficult to hit £400.
Even rare pumpers are not that popular. The co2 Plainsman is £250-£300 and a better pistol to shoot?
It’s very tricky when there are so few of them around!
