Two underlevers. Any detail info. please

Thanks for looking. Asked to look at these for possible resto. A BSA and Relum as you see. BSA rear sight, back to front, on the Relum. Any other info./value please.

The best resto yo can do on the Hungarian Swamp Donkey (Relum) is cut 6" off the muzzle.

Then it fits in the bin easier.

Hope That Helps.

Said it before, and I'll say it again. Ian Jones, you am de bad bad (but very funny) man.

The BSA looks well worth a sympathetic restoration. I would love one like that to give some TLC.
Those more knowledgeable than me can offer a valuation particularly if you provide the serial # and calibre.

The BSA sight on the Relum looks to be off a small rimfire rather than an air rifle to me?

Relum, well its a Relum. Some like them, most do not. The bsa sight on the Relum is off a .22 rifle. I would not bother doing too much to it, just get rid of that sight and try and get an original. Price wise, in good condition they go for less than £100.

The BSA on the other hand looks good. My favorite air rifle (I have a few myself). Early Bayonet/spade under lever so would date from around 1906 to 1914 though with the P pat tap cover and metal butt plate, id say more likely 1907/8. If you tell us the serial number we can get the date for you. Looks to be in good condition, metal wants a bit of a clean but wood looks good. Front sight looks odd to me, might not be original or a rare barley corn type? Does not look to need much work, just a clean and it should be good (cosmetically that is, no idea what the insides look like!).

Value on the BSA would be in the general area of around £150 to £250. What caliber is it? This matters mainly because if there is a number 3 above the loading port then boy its worth a bomb! 3 would mean its a .25 caliber and is incredibly rare. But more than likely is a .177

So yeah, BSA is worth some money the Relum not so much.

Thanks for the input all.
Huttles 94 sorry this should have been where the duplicate was.

All know the Beeza is the money. But the Relum is or was a good workable East Block rifle. I had one as a kid.I was very good.. .You would get a good 50 -70 ish(asthe photo) at a car boot sale. Always a buyer.

I like Relum. For £60 I would buy it even to just hang it on the wall after little TLC
