Calling all you Warrior owners

Good evening, my Warrior

Cheers Pete

Hello Pete,

Any chance of a picture or two of your plated Warrior as I have never actually seen one with this rare finish.

Regards

Hi,

Thats really weird as with that relatively high Ser No (4549) your Warrior should definitely have the re curved trigger guard.

Hi,
I have a .22 warrior with recurved trigger guard, serial number 2805, hope this helps with your research,

ATB Bill.

I have two examples. The first, in .177 calibre, is no.4047 and has the semicircular trigger guard; the second, in .22 calibre, is no. 5017 and has the recurved trigger guard.
Very interesting post, this.

My Warrior is ser/num 1943 in .22 I will have to check the trigger guard when I get home as memory fails me on that.

That is a surprisingly high serial number for the semicircular trigger guard, but it fits in with another reported example with the same type trigger guard which has the even higher number 4549. Currently the lowest known serial number with the second version trigger guard is 2065, so I think we can conclude that there was quite a long period of overlap between phasing out the large semicircular guard and introducing the neater recurved type, an overlap covering around 1500 production models.

No 3667 has the curved trigger guard and a .177 barrel.

When you say curved, do you mean the first type (semicircular) ?

Just got home and checked mine(see earlier post) ser/num "1943" .22 and it has the later style recurved guard.

Also very useful info, as this is the earliest serial number yet reported for the second style trigger guard. Serial numbers 1192 and 1550 have the first style guard.

Looking at the list of serial numbers acquired from this thread and from some other sources, out of 18 pistols, 12 were calibre .177 and 6 were .22. I know this is not exactly representative, but this is a surprisingly high proportion of .22 pistols considering how rare they are supposed to be.
