    Can anyone identify this air rifle?

    Looks a little like a Silverstreak, but there's no markings on it.

    Not a Setra (they look much closer to a Sheridan). But it is nearly identical to an unmarked one I have that was alleged to be a Japanese gun. The fellow I got it from was on the West Coast of the USA.

    The fore sight looked more like a Setra, I think it's an engineers one off in a workshop.

    Question

    Doesn't the Setra have a plastic trigger guard?

    I'd plump for Japanese or Philipino .It reminds me of the early Sharp Ace. possibly one of those SKsomethings.

    Ratbuster kindly posted these pics for me..

    Have been stumped, has many Sheridan type features but nothing on the gun..

    Could perhaps be a prototype..

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    I think that's very likely, the Asians have done a lot of multi pump copies.

    There's a Japanese Sheridan copy called SKB Sakaba that I know of but it's slightly different to the one pictured. It could be a upgraded version by the same company?

    My rifle mentioned above is identical to the one shown by Ratbuster except it has a plastic trigger guard reminiscent of the Setra. I'd say these aren't prototypes but rather an obscure production model. The quality of fit & finish IMHO is superior to Philippine or Indonesian guns I've encountered.

    I guess that its value is what someone is willing to pay.
    Pump ups are not really my thing and looking to buy a nice pistol..
