    No, the one l that l saw for sale was when l had just started collecting in 1986 at my local gun shop, it was with 2 other airguns, and he would not sell it on it own.

    Anyone any ideas what the two threaded holes in the grip of the Certus were for? Someone added a stock? The rear face has been made flat to accommodate some addition.

    Cogswell & Harrison did indeed picture a stock for fitting to the Certus in their contemporary advertising, but no actual examples have ever surfaced to actually confirm its existence.

    I was only following a couple:

    Pardini P10 went for £160 + fees, Osprey supertarget £150 and mk2 Webley target pistol £340.
    Plus at Wilson & Wilson a tell 3 for £320.

    A few bargains there.
