Hello All,
I have found the above whilst clearing my Father's house. I thought it had gone to the cousins years ago, along with the shotgun and the Winchester rifle but it seems he wanted to keep this one. Now I have some idea how old it is I realise it is probably the one he had when he roamed the Hampshire countryside with his dog ( those were the days) in the early years of the war, potting rabbits. He still used it on the rats under the bird table a few years ago.
It is a .177 calibre, 19" barrel (not exchangeable), the stock is sound with no cracks. I would be very grateful for any light that can be shed on it's age, configuration, there seem to be many variants, anything really. I'm not planning to sell it as it is one of the very few things he kept and used from his boyhood to old age. Any advice on preserving it also gratefully received.
I can't post pictures yet but will as soon as I can.
Thank you and regards
Clare.
