There is something about the US climate that is kind to etching. You see some lovely etched examples over the pond. Are they all in the dry states. What a beauty. What a price. Apparently the US has got really keen on BSA underlevers. Hope they don't all end up getting exported to the massive US gun market. Hopefully they will stick to their .22's for plinking

With the pound at a record low against the dollar it is a lot of money. But for the deep pocketed collector who wants a minty Bsa Standard, ones like that don't come along often. I have only ever seen a handful that nice in the UK.Originally Posted by junglie

I think its not the climate its just that here we shoot our .22’s and not our airguns?.There is something about the US climate that is kind to etching.

There were actually 2 BSA’s auctioned this week with nice etching. This was the other one!

Obviously a very keen airgun enthusiast.

Wow was that the final price, very nice condition but not worth that much. well not over here. what did the first one go for, which is in better condition.

What do you mean the first one? The second one I posted went for $325 plus 20% to the house.

Ah l should have said the 2nd one. which went for $325 plus the 20% which was the best one. and about the right money. the other one was way over priced.

That’s the one I bought, nicest BSA Light I have ever seen for sale over here, and has what looks like a factory installed 21a aperture. But pics are pics, will see when I get it in my hands. Was surprised noone really battled me for it? When I saw that clear etching and the pic below I had to go for it. BSA only installed that 21a for a couple years, serial number has it made in 1920.

The best of the best always comes at a price.
Good well etched guns always fetch a premium as there are so few around.
I think you did really well with the gun you bought. Well done yet again

I have been lucky and found a few with etching, but none as nice as the USA models
