    Crosman 600 with no markings

    Someone contacted me saying they have a 600 and the only markings on it are ‘CO2 Semi automatic’ and nothing else.
    Anyone heard of a 600 like this? If not I might be able to get pics if its of interest.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    Could have been made for Sears, although I'd expect it to be marked as such.

    I'm intrigued enough to ask if you can obtain those photos Matt.

    Kind regards,

    John

    Hi Matt,
    These are pretty common in Canada.
    Not sure why they ceased marking them, but I suspect that cost cutting was the likely culprit.
    Many guns started out with a stick-on silver label with black lettering, but these labels are often damaged, or missing, thus, no markings.

    Ah, thanks for clarifying.
    I’ll let them know they’re not too rare then.

    Many thanks,
    Matt

    Thanks Len - Once again, I have added to my knowledge thanks to you and to Matt for bringing up the question.

    It would be interesting to see an image of the silver label.

    Kind regards,

    John

    This is a pic of a typical silver label affixed to early Crosmans.
    This label happens to be on a Mark I, which incidentally, also has no Crosman markings.

    Thank you Len.

    That's something I had not seen before.

    Do you know if the Fairport factory used similar stickers or were they exclusive to Canada?

    Kind regards,

    John

    Yep, no Crosman and no serial number, bought it off here, no idea where it's from.
