Fine air pistols no doubt but I would say that the BSA Scorpion is the E-type of air pistols, it has good looks to go with its performance, I think so anyway!
Are those Targ-Aire pistols in your gallery yours? Fancy selling one?

Few German airguns have much style or grace about them, and I've never liked Co2 guns either, so I can't agree with that. Sorry. The Scorpion's a completely different animal. It might not be as accurate but the build quality is underrated and it does at least have some curves and some style about it. Just as the E-type has some faults, so does the Scorpion.
I'm sorry I will have to disagree with all of the above (apart from the Scorpion/Marmite comment. )
For sheer sleek good lines and build quality you cant beat a Hammerli Match http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...ml?sort=6&o=96 or Single http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...ml?sort=6&o=98 I.M.O.

'Sir Trevor', you have me gabberflasted! Do you genuinely rate the Benjamin pneumatic pistol as being better than the Sharp U-FP??

Dear Eric, I simply love the design of the Benjamin pistol.It has and had an "old fashioned look" even when new(to me). Elegant,is the word that comes to mind.;-) As a shooter,no better than a Webley Premier(is that a cat among the pigeons?)The U-FP is a cracker once fitted with a trigger shoe and a Sheridan striker spring. Interesting to see Rob's attraction to the cut down Buccaneer(OOPS!) Rob,I do have the Targ-aires but haven't a spare,sorry.Regards,Trev
To be compared with the 'E Type' I reckon it should come from the same general era and preferably be of British manufacture. Although I'm a great lover of 1960s British spring air pistols, I can't think of a pistol that would match the German Walther LP3 if such a comparison were to be made.

The Milbro G10 Air Pistol was very much the "E" type of it's day, Guaranteed to break down & drop to pieces!
IF IT'S NOT BROKE.........DON'T FIX IT!
