    Mine looks like GB9575, Mk1, .22. Though the 9 is a bit worn and could be a 1. You might have a record of that one, Roger, since you sold it to me. I look forward to seeing the complete list.

    Another 'sporter

    A chum of mine has a Mk2 .22: GD6294. In good condition, with original etching and still in use as a squirrel-killer.

    Thanks for the replies.

    I have listed 110 serial numbers and have a few thoughts on the results.

    (1) There must be many Airsporters still out there, owned by non BBS members.

    (2) Some members may choose not to display the information, which is quite understandable.

    (3) Very few .177's recorded. Out of the 20, I have 13 of them and two more are one's that I have sold.

    (4) I have still never seen or heard of an ED model.

    This list is not as conclusive as I would have hoped but maybe more will appear (hopefully).

    G:- total 17 - 2213 to 32657
    GA:- total 4 - 951 to 5080
    GB:- total 16 - 4160 to 16539
    GC:- total 5 - 244 to 3302
    GD:- total 37 - 3821 to 34838
    GE:- total 8 - 1283 to 2213 & 40628 to 44761
    GF:- total 3 - 883 to 2786
    E:- total 4 - 8909 to 12028A
    EA:- total 3 - 13036 to 17481
    EB:- total 1 - unreadable serial number
    EC:- total 3 - 2233 to 2439
    ED:- total 0
    EE:- total 7 - 1293 to 7516
    EF:- total 1 - 10011
    EG:- total 1 - 68

    Thanks again for your contributions - Roger

    A very interesting exercise. Thanks, Roger. The Airsporter must have one of the highest survival rates of any airgun. It is obvious to anyone who handles one that this is a classy piece of machinery and worth preserving.
