Desired Airguns

[Michael]

Having been lucky over the years collecting Air pistols and rifles with my late father there always seems to be a few desired but not obtained some through cost and others never seen

My top 5

1 Westley Richards Concentric model

2 jaguar Arms Cub

3 Cogswell Harrison Certus

4 Anson Star

5 BSA Military Pattern. (This one is dad needed to complete his set of BSA but never did)

What are your top 5 ?

[Abasmajor]

Its taken many years for me to find three out of your five desirable air guns and I also share your desire to own a BSA Military Pattern which leaves something to keep on chasing I guess. My fifth choice would be a Gifford pistol which would be the icing on the cake.

There are quite a few items in my collection that would still be considered "Must Haves" if I didn't already own them and I must say that I have had as much pleasure hunting them down and researching them as actually owning them. Although there are still a couple of extremely rare guns I would dearly love to own, they would probably have to come to me rather than me actively pursuing them.
I have recently become more interested in finding collectable accessories, oil cans, pellet tins, paperwork etc which can be equally rewarding if not a lot cheaper than the guns themselves.

I must agree with Brian as finding the accessories is always quite a bonus. They also provide additional information and can also raise more questions too. I happened across this Remington cartridge box. Not something I am really interested in. But on the bottom of the box is something quite interesting - an advertisement for the Champion & Eureka air pistols. I have since learned that this air pistol advertisement has appeared on least two other cartridge companies in the 1870s & 1880s.

DareDevil Dinkum air pistol

If anyone has one of these for sale, please contact me.

It's top of my wish list.

PS I would part/ex it for my Eisenwerke Gaggenau PP, and a Diana mod 6 woodstock plus cash, or pay cash only.
