Does it need or has it been resealed??
The name painted on will affect the value as well at the moment.
For your info, I sold one in better condition, but needing seals for about £50.
I would clean it up and get rid of the name first mate.
Can anyone help with a valuation for this pistol?. It is .177 with very minor pitting to the barrel and cylinder. The case was custom made by the previous owner and the name is just written in tippex so will be removed fairly easily.

Maybe £50 in this tough market? But add £20 if the seals have been replaced recently, because if it has the original seals they are likely to need replacing soon enough.
If this valuation is correct, it's a ridiculously low price for a very well-engineered pistol that is capable of achieving near-match accuracy with virtually zero recoil. If I was looking to buy a spring pistol to plink with, this is the model I would buy. Compared to anything you could buy new for under £100, it represents far better value for money.

Thanks for your reply, the name will be removed before sale.
I was expecting its value would be around £50ish

Just be careful what you remove the tippex with, some solvents may damage the plastic. Maybe something a bit safer like white spirit?
