    Vintage bsa valuation please

    I would like a valuation on this please. Vintage .177 BSA which I think is the Light or Ladies pattern, barrel 18 1/2 " overall 42" even pitting over entire surface, rear sight element missing, I would say main spring replaced at some time as it's round section and the gun shoots well so mechanically good. No splits in wood and BSA logo on pistol grip clear but none visible on metalwork. S/No. 6498.....Pictures below.

    Remember, it is the strongest character that God gives the most challenges.

    It is a BSA Breakdown Pattern,(not a Light Pattern) and can be dated by its serial number,but circa 1930's.In the condition it's in I would hazard a guess of value at around 80 pounds.

    Ditto, maybe even a bit less? Say £70-£80.

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    I would also estimate £70-£80 as being realistic for a private sale.
