I have an Airlogic Genesis and think it's lines are quite nice, but hate the stocks on modern BSAs
professional hookaduck ringer
Mmm. Maybe
Could a straight grip webley or a Titan really be called works of art though? They look like an early engineering sketch brought to life to me. They have a period appeal but otherwise I think they are (whispers) pretty ugly really.
The quality of materials is higher in old airguns, but there were some munters then as now.
Morally flawed
2,602.00 GBP −10.00 (0.38%) at the close
My favourite for form, lines and just general wow thats nice would have to be a slant grip senior or a premier.
The ackvoke is quite purposeful but not so elegant
More modern stuff may work better or worse but is invariably less inspiring to look at
Gun control means using both hands.

In my opinion the art of spring pistol aesthetics peaked a long time ago (not mine unfortunately)
