[Jarrod1972]

Hi all a long time since I’ve been on here. 👍🏽
What is so special about the Indian airpistol that sold yesterday for £500 with Commision. Anyone know a makers name. Any history on this airpistol as interested to find out.
Regards
Jarrod

Do you have a link to the initial auction? Don't recall seeing it come up on an internet search.

Thanks for the link Jerry. At least I was able to save the pictures to my computer. Very much appreciated.

Cometa have made at least two 'Indian' air pistols, there is the modern one that looks like a Blade Runner blaster, and there was an earlier pistol which may be this one. But for £400???? that's crazy.

Indeed that's nuts for something that probably turned up in a house clearance.

Well, I’ve never seen one in fifteen years, and I guess if two people want it...
