Each one has a story to tell, and the most cash I ever parted with for a single item was £600, at an auction. The bellows pistol (number 1) is a bit of a fraud as I made it myself ( http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....Bellows+pistol). If an original ever came on the market it probably fetch near £10k, hence the incentive for DIY !
Hi yes l remember you doing the bellows pistol. what a excellent job in doing it, l wish l had the skill to do something like that. to get all of those pistols for under £600 each is very good going. but like you say in the right place at the right time. which has happend to me at times but not to often.
