    Kempton Classic Photos

    Hot off the press, as the show is still in full swing with bargains to be had; I'd have missed a very rare BSA Club had a fellow collector not pointed it out to me!

    A huge thank you once again to Peter and Liz Binfield for making this show happen.

    Just got back yesterday from a major Airgun Show in the States, if I would have seen a table like you show in the pics I would have fallen over!

    Here is a typical table in US. Daisy’s!! Life is often just not fair?

    I promised myself that M1 if no-one bought it as it was an early one with a wooden stock but thankfully another BBS member bought it and saved more expense on my part.

    Funny you should say that - I did stumble into a dealer on the really long stall I photographed and sent £1000 in cash flying all over the place It was one of those moments when you wish the ground would open and swallow you up. Still, at least no guns were hurt - now that would have been unforgivable.

    Thanks for the pics John. The fair looks as good as ever. Wish I could have been there, maybe next time.

    Cheers,

    Hi John & Jo, many thanks for the photos. it sounds like most of the buyers and sellers had a good time as usual apart from the BBS member who wanted the M1. l see Mike Sharp had a rare rifle. what was it. and l clocked a Swift on someones table, plus the table with the antique pump up rifles.

    Oh dear, just flogged a mint one of those M1 Crossmans for £80 to someone at the club on behalf of a friend!
    Amazing what scrap metal goes for nowadays LOL!

    Hi Mick,

    Well spotted. The rifle Mike was looking at was a Japanese Hiki, which Mike explained dated from before WW2. Although it looks to be of tinplate construction, it's actually solidly made of steel. It created a lot of interest at the fair and I believe the rifle changed hands for around £500. Protek had the antique PCPs and Tim Dyson showed me the Swift. I don't recall its price.

    As usual, collectors were spoilt for choice. I found a few items for the collection, which I bought to upgrade existing items, so I will have a few guns for sale (as long as they differ and I don't find some minor differences when photographing them for sale!).

    John
