In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
ps i would get a picture up but this does not give me the option here ???
Forgot that the T prefix were all .22
The L prefix rifles were made between 1919 and 1936
So if your friends is a low serial number than it would place it around 1919.
Unless it is actually a T prefix trigger block attached to a .177 cylinder and barrel. In that case its a parts rifle more commonly known as a 'Bitsa'.
i like that more that would upset him

i hope you can see these guys
like i say its 177 is it a bsa bitza 177???
The picture of the serial number could do with being retaken. Flash makes it a bit hard to read. So cant tell for sure what it is. Looks like a T or a L but the letter (if it is a letter) seems to be smaller than the numbers (numbers look odd to). Again kind of hard to tell with the flash glare on the photo.
Well one thing for sure is that, as far as I know, the L and T Prefix rifles did not have a side button lever(?)
Looks like a Improved mod D or a early Standard (S prefix). Looks way too long to be a L prefix.
So from what I can see. Could be a Bitsa...
Serial number looks fairly well worn away so without inspecting it in person, its kind of hard to tell.
Though I am sure there are people on here with more knowledge and better eyes that can solve this mystery!
must of done 50 photos but that letter t is the one that stands out the rest are guesswork
