    Hi Danny, l had 2 rifles that were stamped with SAR on them both different models. l sold them to the late airgun collector Keith Bayliss, who had also never heard of them.

    Hi Danny sorry but l don't have any pics of them. l did have some on the old computer which got hacked. from memory they were stamped SAR with 2 crossed arrows and made in Japan. they were both different models, one had the same sight as your photo, and the other one had a Diana 16 type.
    both the stocks on them were different. and not like the one in your pics, and no fancy bit on the end of the barrel. l bought them in 1991. and sold them in 2012.
    se/nos were 148, 339.

    It has a three piece stock same as the old Airsporters yet looks Cadet-ish!!

    Beautiful thing though!

    EDIT- It has a Cadet shaped trigger block and a Cadet Major type rearsight!- A wannabe Beesa by the look of it!!
