    I have the lovely Brocock catalogue pages. These are the only rifles in it, my old Fox accounted for a few rabbits.

    Thank you Baz, I too have that. I am looking for the more obscure, someone must have pictures of the pipe and pen set, I think they should be off ticket as they don't use a nosecone. The Griffin was a very short lived garden shed manufactured air shotgun with a very poor stock, I'm not expecting many to have been bought or survived the legislation. I know the manufacturer has passed away....he also made the 'Slipstream airgun pellets/slugs

    They must be very obscure/rare as I've never even heard of these before…..

    Cheers URX....Steve Harper made his pipe sets for collectors mostly, but then sold a few at country shows and fairs, along side the canes and pocket pistols.
    The Griffin was actually made less than 20 miles from me and I still have a prototype of sorts of his, but never bought a Shotgun (don't know if I regret that?) As to the Rhino I think it was a CZ production as it was easier than the in-house production of the Predator, Brocock had a few different ideas, but they came quite late...
    I'm trying to document all this...

    Brocock Rhino

    I had the opportunity to purchase a prototype Brocock Rhino from "Quartermasters stores" at the Bedford arms fare shortly before air cartridge guns went on ticket. It had a 3 shot magazine which had feed issues. The barrel was the wrong type & the stock was poorly finished. Nothing like my Predator. I regret to this day not buying it when I had the chance. Once on my ticket I could of had the issued fixed. It would have made an excellent field rifle. A bit rough and ready. It was featured in one of the airgun magazines "for your eyes only" reviews. I have a copy of the mag in my collection.
