What's the chance of there being any old Benjamin Franklin pumps, I think 317 model but there again sure the one I had as a young man was in .22 flavour
I will definitely be there early!
Don't think there is any panic for early, in fact doors don't open till all the tables are set up. I went last year and all was conducted in a Gentlemanly manner. Quality rifles sold for realistic prices (no bargains)but below certain militaria shop prices
If you are after a quality collectable and happy to pay its worth, you should be happy.
BSA Ultra 177 with big Hawke scope
BSA Superstar .22
BSA early .22 Sporting patt
BSA Imp Mod 'B'
BSA JUNIOR (11 1/4'' stock)
Webley LiteW8 no mag and only holds air for about a week
Webley Service 2nd Series in .177
Sharp Ace with some litrature
H W 80 in .177 with scope
Various break barrel cheapies
Webley Senior .177
If nothing else, they will get an airing...
Only 2 weeks to go boys n girls. should be a good day out.
Life without happiness is no life at all.
Few more for friend(s), will try and get pics up before the event.
Lanes Musketeer,
BSA imp mod d 43" x .177 (trade refinish a few years ago),
One or more Webley pistols (that's all I know at present)
Carbine BSA standard as discussed elsewhere
Millita type .22 rifled German rifle
Spanish older Meteor / Mercury type .22 break barrel (have forgotten what it is, but will be a bargain!)
Possibly some spares including BSA sights / stocks etc. for prewar types.
ATB, ED
I don't understand why the policy is not to indicate prices of all of these obvious bargains. It would at least let those" nasty, insidious dealers "know just where they are going wrong!
The intent is to give a flavour of what will be offered rather than a comprehensive list.
Adding prices tends to result in some people trying to make offers/bids, which is unethical and also potentially denies those who make an effort to attend the chance to buy certain items.
Fortunately most of the sellers are well known and firmly in the "good guys" camp and so wouldn't be tempted by such tactics.
Judging from last year's Fayre then the list of rifles presented here on the bbs was perhaps 10% of what turned up on the day. Then there are all the bits'n'bobs, accessories, magazines etc that are often just placed on the seller's table and invite some enjoyable haggling.
Lastly, many collectors aren't very organised, prices being hastily written up as they are laying their wares out on the day. Perhaps this explains some of the low prices?
Achieved prices would be more useful. I'd be happy to start an "achieved prices" thread after the event and do it via pm if anonymity is desired.
Add some more to my list
Benjamin Rocket .22,
Silver streak with rocker safety
Falke Mod 70
2 BSA Meteors
Gem in .25
plus more pistols and rifles ect.
