Looks like a standard one with all the alloy bits polished by hand.
Unusual though...

I would be inclined to agree, but only to about 90% extent, as the normal (though still rare) silver version had different zones of black and silver. I was also puzzled by the metal base plate on the grip, which the known silver versions do not have.
However, the 10% uncertainty comes from the fact that a gold coloured version is known with such a base plate (see here: https://www.vintageairgunsgallery.co...9337e243f9.jpg)
A bit of a puzzle.

Yep, forgot that the base of the grip was just plain with a hole on my old one.
Possibly done by the same person or even as factory prototypes?
Either way it's a neat touch.

As per email, I think you will find the apparent gold plate on the base is just a shadow, similar to that on the trigger guard.
I've just checked my photographs of the standard black 240, and, as you are probably already aware, they don't show a metal base plate either.

You could be right, but that certainly looks like gold anodising to me.Hi John,

It appears way too bright and consistent to be a shadow and there is also an actual shadow on the base of the pistol grip that isn't diminishing the yellow on the base plate.

I've one that was stripped and parts polished, I think I bought from a member on here!
Not as fully polished though!

This one is chrome plated.

If you look closely at the photograph you will see similar smaller shadows at the rear of the pistol as well as round the trigger guard and elsewhere. The gold example I owned certainly did not have a base plate.

You never know perhaps the original owner will pop up and tell us who's right and if the chrome one was his (or her) handiwork...

I think it belonged to Paul chell who does this for a living, he does professional re bluing and blacking so he’s used to polishing down to the bare bones, he did my dads theoben fenman
I'm happy with mine
looks very nice
