Relum Slavia 618 nostalgia

[Benelli B76]

They say when you get old you return to your childhood, using a three wheeled bike again, wearing nappies, drinking from a feeding beaker. I have got a thing for tiny rifles, the latest one a 618 in lovely condition after probably 40 years. Was only doing 340 fps with 8.4 grn pellet but managed to add another 100 fps with a replacement spring. Any idea of value on this ?

Nice little rifles, being a bit smaller than the Webley Junior/Diana 22 etc. The sears can be prone to wear so it is another gun that I would prefer a "tired" mainspring or at least one with a few coils collapsed.
As that one looks in quite good nick, (I don't like giving valuations really), maybe £55 at the top end, but if posting, I don't think many people would pay a total of £68. At £40 I would tell somebody wanting to teach a youngster to shoot to grab it quickly.

This one is like new inside, hardly used, I think the spring slowly collapsed over time. Has a lovely trigger let off, quite smooth and shooting good groups. From screw heads looks like it has never been opened, until now.

My first rifle was a Slavia break barrel,bought new from Coopers in Chester.

At just over £7,several weeks paper round wages,shot the hell out of it until my dad came up with a Mk1 Airsporter .

Roughly how many years ago did you buy it ?
