    Yep. In fact, if it's as nice in the flesh once viewed as the photos would suggest and in good working order, maybe a little more? £250-£260?

    I don’t disagree.

    Bit of a niche thing for the right buyer though.

    I agree with maximus above 300-350 due to scarcity.

    tom24,

    They are lovely little rifles

    Back in the late '70s I had a 0.177" Wischo S55 (BSF S60 ?) - truly a pocket rocket for the time ( a bit let down by the trigger which was a bit on the heavy side, and required a bit of handwork to get it smooth & crisp ).

    It made a genuine 10 ft.lb.

    I always have a feeling that they set the die for the HW99S ( as HW took over BSF ) ?

    Have fun

    Best regards

    Russ

    The 99S is the most recent iteration of the HW50 which was introduced in the early 1950's predating the BSF B55 by a couple of decades,and reported to be Herman Weihrauch's favourite production model.If anything BSF would have been influenced by HW rather than the other way around.

    Hi Russ.

    As pointed out by mrto the HW50 was already in existence when Weihrauch took over BSF, the BSF 55 was morphed into the HW85 by Weihrauch, then into the HW95.

    A quick google suggests that the higher estimates here may not be wrong.

    Perhaps because I have two 55s (not Ns), I may overestimate their availability and therefore underestimate what people will pay for a nice one - especially the walnut ones.

    Despite their limitations, they are lovely little rifles.
