Pleased to see that in addition to the (very good and worthy) usual suspects, you have Nick Carter’s AnotherAirgunBlog on there.
It’s not particularly a collectors’ or vintage site, or branded as such, but it is an outstanding resource for restorers, repairers, tuners, or tinkerers, or just for seeing how guns come apart, work, can be fixed when they don’t, and go back together.

Agreed, I always like to service recent acquisitions and I’ve found that website a really useful resource for servicing some vintage air pistols, often offering the only disassembly guide online.
Great list Danny.

Good listing I’m surprised how many of the posting I recognize after the 5 years in the hobby.. Don’t give up on the American GTA vintage forum, I have been trying to convince them that the world of Airguns is not necessarily always named Sheridan. I feel there is some hope lol

Not properly “vintage” by some way, but I’m a fan of Steve’s Air Arms Anorak history site, and these rifles increasingly get discussed on here rather than in General Airgun. A great resource for fans of 80s/90s springers and older PCPs.

Sadly, the once-excellent “Jackal’s Lair” site is defunct (though can still be found in parts via the wayback machine).

Someone just asked me about online vintage airgun resources, as they didn’t really know any, and it was extremely useful to be able to just send them a link to that page.
Nice one Danny,
Matt

Thanks Matt, Peter, Steve, Brian, Geezer and Ollie. I'll add the GTA.

Three other sites that would be worth including :

-an interesting pictorial gallery of vintage airguns from various countries, together with vintage ammunition and literature.
http://airecomprimido.net/portal/vie...f=33&start=135
- A Spanish airgun forum which includes vintage and collectables.
https://www.hegmans.de/theo/luft.htm
no vintage weapons, but a gallery of various amazing airguns scratch built by engineer Theo Hegmans

A couple from FB, Danny.
Collecting Vintage Airguns - sometimes an advantage to understand German or Swedish. A lot of rarities (to me) crop up.
Giffard Owners Register - not really got going yet, possibly a bit too obscure a make. If it wasn't for Covid we could have an AGM ( in a phone box).
Please, please, please keep yours going. The knowledge humbles me and the photographs inspire me.
