Thanks Danny and Brian,

I intend to include the Sprawson - Parker sight in my long awaited book and it will be good to feature images of an actual example rather than just a catalogue description.

However, as that may not be ready for a while yet, I do intend sharing the sight with readers later in the year through my regular Airgun World column. I also have access to some interesting aspects of Herbert Sprawson's shooting career, which I hope readers will find as fascinating as I do. I've already had a quick play with the sight and have found it incredibly easy to adjust in comparison to a standard dovetail fitting. The fine blade is useful as it is a lot narrower than a standard BSA bead and does not obscure the target to the same degree as a bead.

Believe it or not, an example of the Gibbs Headrest also turned up at Kempton and was snapped up by a keen Bisley member (no, not me!). I took a few snaps and have passed all of my images to Binners to use on his website, so I am sure that as soon as Mr B has uploaded/downloaded them, he'll share a link.

Kind regards,

John

Tried to free them form whatever format they were sent, but to no avail! and I had my big copy and paste finger ready too!

Yeah, BBS badges for the next event is a great idea

Then do have a read of my post @ post #8 on Pete's A Big Thankyou thread hereabouts in collectables, as it details the BBS badge I was wearing and where it came from, and maybe it may inspire someone to pick up where the now long gone AirArms Dave left off?
