How many airguns before you should consider yourself a collector?

[hwtyger]

Depends on whát you collect I guess. Collecting can be limited to only 1 type of pistol (for instance, the Tempest) ór to áll types of pistols from one brand or a certain decade.
I'm not a real collector, but I cértainly am a Webley fán! I don't like/want all Webley's though, júst I few I like.

Some interesting replies there gents. One thing is for certain though:

Do not underestimate the power of the collectables side. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

That is quite true. It's also the reason I will not admit to even myself that I'd "collect" air rifles.

However, what I *need* now is a Diana (Original) 60 in good nick. But I do not, repeat DO NOT, collect. I also think I NEED Diana/Original/Geco model 10 and 6M pistols.

However, I do not need the FWB 300 (ca. 1969) I have there right now so it's got to go.
