I've just come into ownership of an old BSA which is showing its age.

My first hurdle is identifying exactly what it is.

In faded writing the body has:

The BSA Standard
air Rifle .177 Bore No.1
Birmingham Small Arms co Ltd England

Various patent dates are printed but fade out, but 1907 seems to be the most common date

The serial number is L26530

If anyone can shed any light on the rifle I'd be grateful. I need to obtain service parts and want to be sure I get the correct ones.

Thanks in advance

Steve.
