Who make the second best looking springers to AA today

[Geezer]

Best looking springer for me is the Diana 52

Dave.

The classic stuff looks good as ever,

We agree.

Of course, 15-40 years ago, we’d have had them and the nice HWs (including factory tyros), and the FWB Sport, and the Webley Tracker, Omega, Viscount, Longbow, Tomahawk, Stingray, AA Khamsin and Camargue (and then stick the PE in the mix too, with the u/levers), Diana 35, 36 and 38 as well as the 52, BSA Mercs and Sporters and Supersports, even the Anschutz 335 (Mk2), some of the BSFs.

Now, they are almost all gone.

Nice looking springers peaked in the 80s, flatlined in the 90s, and died out from the mid-2000s.
