In my view, they only have a 'shootable' or 'parts' value as the refinishing and painting will have diminished any 'collectable' value.

I'm sure some one will come along and put a value against them, but without any photos it can only be a rough guide.

Not trying to put a downer on your friends guns, but originality is key in getting a good price for a collectable airgun or even a modern shooter.
Thanks, appreciate your sentiment. I told him the same... originality is key to collectors. All his guns were picked up as projects. To be fair, he replaces worn parts with spares from Knibbs or Chambers. Mechanically they are sound. Internals will be good I’d guess.
I’m now thinking to bid him around Ł50 each, but I want it to be a fair price.... hence seeking guidance from the guys that can do just that.
