    Sorry the links not working for me.

    Sherlock Holmes decided to paint his front door bright yellow.

    When Dr Watson came home he queried it.

    Looks very much like a prop made for a movie, rather than patterned on a real thing?

    “Steampunk” decades before that was a word.

    it at least looks informed though... maybe someone converted it from front mounted airsource 88g to regulated HPA cylinder in the butt ?

    Or more likely the props guys has access to google images....
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I once wrote a book on chickens.

    With hind sight I should have used paper.

    It still won a 'boook-boook-boooker ' prize.
