Rifle or pistol?
And if you could post some photos of it would help.
I guess it depends on which prototype it is. Is it a pistol or rifle?
And since it is a prototype it will be hard to get a value since well, when is the last time you saw one sell? :P
Yours could be the only one who knows. So I guess its only worth what someone is willing to pay
Hi l am not so sure that it is a prototype LJ pistol. just my oppinion. it will be interesting to hear what other collectors think.
strange another forum member who is making a reproduction describes it as a "fantastic find in the historical sense" and Holts describe it as a missing protype
Looks to be the same model that John is building at the moment ?
As far as I am aware this is not a prototype. But a Lincoln Jeffries Scout air pistol.
Jimmy Dee airguns wrote a post about these pistols I am sure.
Actually I just looked up the article and the scout had a push barrel.
So either this is a prototype with scout grips or it is......no idea
Edit,
looks like it has the scout grip and trigger but the upper body is different.....Very interesting.
I don't seem to be able to reply to my own post

Certainly looks familiar!
A closer look at the photographs shows "PROV PAT" and "7" stamped on the rear of the cocking arm. Likewise there is "7" stamped on the housing below the rear sight. My initial thought is that the "7" is a serial number which would lead you to think it was a production piece. It would be interesting to know if there are other markings stamped anywhere else on the pistol. If possible, I would suggest removing the grips to see if there are any other identifiable markings underneath.
Another interesting question is why does this example have the "SCOUT" grips of the regular Lincoln Jeffries Scout air pistol. Will be interesting to see what other information can be brought to light on this example.
