    Serial Number 1.

    Good morning chaps.

    I've just bought a van for a new business venture and it's already costing me money in repairs😐

    That being the case I'm trying to raise a few quid to offset these unexpected costs.

    A few years ago I purchased an Airwolf Tactical with serial number 1.

    I can value the rifle easily enough by looking at for sale and previous for sale ads. Does the fact that this is the first off the production line add to it's value at all and if so by how much?

    Any advice or opinions gratefully received.

    Many thanks.

    Andy

    To a collector a serial number 1 would be worth more, it's difficult to say how much more, on rare guns I'd say it would easily add around 30%. To a regular user (hunter or target shooter) it makes no difference what so ever, so you need to find a collector...

    Try asking this question in the collectors corner.

    A genuinely interesting question - I'm not sure how many would collect items this new and what difference the serial number would make on most airguns?

    I'd hazard a guess at maybe 10% or even less for something this modern - but fully appreciate that could be wa-a-ay off

    The other side of the coin could be that you wait for the right speculator to come along and that could take time...

    If you can find a Daystate thats not a limited edition they sell for a fortune.
    A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.
