Hw35 variant

[tonyn]

Any hw35 anoraks on here?
Just got a near perfect condition hw35 e
It has a standard length barrel with a walnut stock barrel and stock fixings for strap chequered grip with cap and white spacer .The butt plate appears to be a solid plastic affair with white spacer. After a bit of research on tinternet it appears to be a gun made for the American company beaman.
Would this be correct? If so what's it worth cheers

The HW35EB as built for Beeman had a 19" barrel.

The E only denotes a Walnut stock, and there is evidence that some European Es were sold with 19" barrels.

Does your stock have a small checkered triangle on the underside of the stock just forward of the trigger guard as it sounds like it's an early one with the solid butt pad ?




All the best Mick

Your rifle is a35d/l and should have a Bavarian style stock.

triangle in front of trigger guard ?

[landymick]

It sounds like a late sixties/ early seventies model to me with the butt pad being plastic.
Like Mick says,it’s probably got the extra chequering under the fore end.

The Exports,Standard & Luxus models were all available with the 22” barrel as an option with the 500mm as standard.

The early Luxus model has a rounded pistol grip with chequering & no cap with hogs back the Export has a Monte Carlos cheek piece;both have Walnut stocks.

I thought that the model with the rounded pistol grip and a grove each side of the fore end made from beech was the standard one . Then you had the luxus with the same style stock as the export but made from beech and a 19inc barrel, and the export had the wallnut stock ,22inc barrel and sling swivels .
