Nope not a fake...just Hull Cartridge maybe didn't import it. Just like the early 80's no stamp on them. Mach 1.5
Hi all, I bought a HW80 in .177 today at a car boot sale. Its in pretty good nick and was a good price. I now notice it hasn't got the hull cartridge stamp on the barrel. Does this mean its a chinese copy or something? I have another in .22 and it looks exactly the same.
Cheers
Ian

It's a fake! Best send it to me for disposal.
My ignore list: <Hidden information>
I have a HW35e that doesn't say Weihrauch on it!!
It says EUSTA in a diamond!!
It was another importer I think!!
I was told on the HW forum that it's a fake!!

I can imagine which div on there told you it was a fake John.
I have a 35E with Edgar Brothers stamped on it --- worth so much more than those common old Hull Cartridge guns.
It even has the little pube shaped checkering panel in front of the trigger guard as well.

It was a member called Les, This is what he said...
"The tradename "Eusta" or "Eusta-Schieder" is used by Kaschie-Wrage. The Kashie refers to Karl Schieder, a gunsmith, so it would appear that your rifle is a copy of a Weihrauch, albeit a very good copy"

Sportsman Gun Centre Weirhauchs are bought in direct.They are not stamped Hull Cartridge and they must have sold a hell of a lot through their 3 outlets.

Not the ASDA type meeter and greeter I was thinking of then John ---" welcome to the forum if you do a search you will find many interesting threads".
The bloke I was thinking about actually told someone his 35 Barracuda wasn't anything special and was worth about £150.
