Who has got the earliest Scorpion pistol ?

[Gareth W-B]

I had a .177 Mk.I Scorpion pistol, serial number PA 632, which was in MINT condition, that I sold to a fellow collector from Belgium back in October 2008.

I bought my first Scorpion from Thomas Turner in Reading in 1973, the year they came out, but I can't remember what it cost. I was on my way to see Friends in Ascot, but did a diversion to Turner's, fatal error, as they'd just received it that very day.
I px'ed it several years later for an Original 35, as a friend had a Squirrel problem he wanted me to sort.
I've always liked the Scorpion , so have since bought some when they've cropped up at the right price, but haven't bought any for the past few years.

Looks like we are of an age then!
One thing I like about the Scorpion is that it is not a replica of anything and considering the hoo ha I have caused on the Pistol Forum about them thats clearly a good thing!

You will be pleased to hear it still is in MINT condition, and it was Holland, not Belgium..

thanks for that dave ,not a bad estimate if i say so myself;ive come across a source of the metal safety catchs if anyone needs one as the ones with the plastic nobbles seem to loose theirs.also the ive got a ready supply of the allen bolts fot the butt housing and the rear stock screw to action .
the next question that sprung to mind was how widely spread these were distributed ;i know there is at least one in holland! and in mint which was nice to hear,
did they get across the pond or even as far as out aussie/kiwi collegues.
