    Help please with the identification of a very old BSA air rifle.

    I hope that I have posted this thread on the correct section?

    A old friend has recently been widowed and her late husband had many rifles, shotguns and air rifles, all have been disposed of except for the one I would appreciate help with identifying and if possible? some idea of it's value.

    It's a BSA make air rifle with the stamp of 14270 on it.
    It's in a lovely condition with no obvious faults, it has been re-blued.

    I wish that I could post a photo of it but the Airgun BBS system for doing that has defeated me, too complex I'm afraid for me.

    It's a under lever.

    I don't think it has hardly used for several years, a item passed down in the family, lovely condition.

    It's a shame it has been reblued. This will dent it's value somewhat. The rearsight is on backwards!

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    Thanks for all replies, it has helped so much with identification.

    I now have to get some idea of it's sale value for the widow of a deceased shooter who wants to sell it.
