    Steve just because Don Robinson made this monstrosity for Prince Charles, so he claims, doesn't mean Charlie has ever seen it, still less owned it...

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    W A Mozart owned an air rifle, apparently, but we don't know exactly what it looked like.

    Well there is “that” Walther LP 53. https://www.christies.com/LotFinder/...8-4f9ffc12f86f

    (Disappointing that they did not list it as lot 007)
    Morally flawed

    Jack Osbourne with his skan? Kinda vintage nowadays.
    Airforce airguns with Ton Jones? Same 'vintage' as the skan.

    Well...depending upon how far you are willing to stretch the definition of "famous"...!

    For several years I owned the Anschutz 335 that had belonged to Jess Galan. Jess wrote the airgun column in the annual "Gun Digest" book series throughout the 80's and 90's, and many other magazine articles. He helped create a lot enthusiasm for the sport in the US in those days.

    Wasn’t Lou “Incredible Hulk” Ferringo a big airgun enthusiast in the 70s/80s?
