    They're pretty rifles and they intended to make a thousand but the serials suggest they only did around 200. The thing I like most about them is how well the stock fits for the Williams sight.
    I did see another at auction a few years ago but I don't think it sold, so there's at least 2 in the UK.

    Absolutely stunning -- one of my "Holy Grails" of air rifles.

    Thanks for the pictures, i think originally they were supposed to make around the 6000 mark but due to high manafactuing cost that number was never met.. their was also some second's that were made & they had normal serial numbers on them.. there was more 22's made than 177's.. the stock's & forearm's were made out of the same piece of walnut.. i could go on, if anyone knows of the whereabouts of one by all means send me a pm.. by the way your rifle is a beaut.

    Second nicest rifle Benjamin ever produced. Below was the most expensive and to me their best. Bit of a English connection.
