Andrew & Troubledshooter,
Thanks so much for the replies and the great information including build date!
The rifle appears to be in decent condition for its age and doesn't show signs of over abuse, i do think at some point its storage left a little to be desired though. Ill get a few pics snapped of it when i get chance, its not mint obviously but pictures of one of the very last made may be useful for someone?
I've not had chance to chrono it, as basically i don't have one yet. I've just returned to air rifle shooting after a long break (see my join date etc) but once i do have some info i'll attach to this post.
TS, i will PM you shortly about the stock badge insert - the original is actually present but the logo has worn away
Just out of interest, any ideas what the serial number of the very last one made would likely be?
Again, thanks for the informative replies.
Best regards,
Dave.
In fact capitalisation is important all the time. It's the difference between "I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse" and "I helped my uncle jack off a horse"
