    If you mean me, Dave, I haven't got a clue and the Mr Thyme probably knows a lot more about SSPs than I ever will.

    Didn't Daystate make an SSP for a few years 1988-95 ? May be wrong, the one I am thinking of may have been a PCP. The stock shape looked familiar.

    I thought maybe Daystate some parts look like the old falcon guns, too well finished off to be a prototype though.

    If there’s literally nothing stamped on it in terms of a maker or serial number it could be a one off built by someone very talented?

    Looks to me like a one-off. Could even be a Bowkett one-off, perhaps.

    The Daystate Sportsman was based on the earlier Titan Mohawk. When Titan stopped making the Mohawk Daystate either bought up the remaining parts or kept them briefly in manufacture to make their version of an SSP.

    Justin: no further hints?

    Daystate made the sportsman, it's not one of those.

    To me, it has the look of a prototype about it.
