    Favourite threesomes

    It occurred to me, as a long term collector, that some of the more highly collectable airguns seem to naturally group together in threes. As I haven't tried the new forum image insertion proces yet I thought I would have a go and show two of my favourite threesomes. I would also be interested to know of anyone else's favourite threesomes.

    Top: First model Highest Possible (horn grip, fixed rear sight)
    Middle: Second model Highest Possible (vulcanite grip, adjustable sight)
    Bottom: Concentric Highest Possible



    Top down: Abas Major walnut grip, smooth bakelite grip, chequered bakelite grip

    Later edit to message: So that didn't work then, my first effort was a failure ! Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? My images are in Imgur. I pressed the icon for inserting an image and then pasted the Imgur url into the appropriate box. The Imgur url appeared in my draft message , but when I clicked "submit message" no image appeared in my post.


    Sometimes I’ve noticed that I have to double click the image in Imgur to get the actual picture as opposed to the location.
    You got it! Cool pics

    Great pictures. I have my heart set on an Abas Major. I made a very silly decision 15 years ago when I had the chance to buy one and I passed the it up,wally that I am. It was up for £65 but I wouldn’t have been able to buy any food that week or the same chap had a BSA Cadet for £35 meaning I could eat. I bought the Cadet and regretted it almost immediately.

    Those Westley Richards and Abas Majors are just incredible. I could stare at those pics all day!

    Here's some prewar Dianas, 45, 35, and 27:



    and models 58, 45, 26:

    Some lovely eye candy there. It would be great if people could insert a description of the guns shown for the more unititiated of us, especially where there are three different models and the triology connection may not be all that obvious. I have edited my first post to do this.

    Brian, what are your three superb BSA's?

    Anyone got the Tell 1,2 and 3 triology to share with us? Or a nice trio of Webley Mk 1, 2 and 3 rifles?

    Danny our posts crossed and you have pre-empted me. Great examples by the way.

    How about Luger inspired? Haenel 28 inspires the post war Hy-Score and Targ-Aire

    Here's one, John. I wonder what the Tell 1 box looked like? Assuming it came in one.
