Mine is the ASI paratrooper repeater as per post #2
Anglo Spanish Imports I bought mine in 1977 it has the ASI sticker and a Gamo logo stamped onto the cylinder.
The more I think I know, the more I realise the less I know.
Was also available without the 'repeater' function' as a single shot. Both 177 and 22 I believe, Nice little plinkers. Ours have grooves for a scope.... not sure is early ones had grooves. Watch out for: the 'plastic stock' isn't cracked.

Mine is low powered. I always wondered why until in recent times I found out what the F inside a pentagon meant. Littlewoods catalogue obviously got a batch meant for Germany.
It's a nice little plinker and I'm pretty sure the repeater was only .177.

Power I don't mind too much as one of my Favourite guns is a Daisy Red Ryder which is definately no powerhouse, if its low enough it'd be handy for the indoor range.
Littlewoods Catalouge, that takes me back, mine was sort of a dual thing with Index with both going the way of the Dodo once Amazon became a thing, last thing I think I got from there was my Airhogs plane, a air motor powered uncontrolable fast moving thing that far surpassed it's supposed distance resulting in me having to chase it through several streets on one occasion as it decided to leave the playng fields.

As far as I knew, Gamo was the manufacturer and ASI the UK importer at the time. Guessing all officially imported ones will be ASI branded. Maybe better to search both when you start your quest?

Intresting, how do I identify the differences between them? I think I'd prefer it as a repeater if theres not a massive price tag associated to it. Cracked stock doesn't faze me too much aslong as its all there as I can either Falloutify it or make a Wooden replacment should it not effect function.

Now that's a good one because I have seen paratroopers as pukka Gamo. I have not seen a Gamo repeater but that does not mean they never made them.
Search for both.
Ggggr knows about them.
Here is a link to youtube slightly different to mine because there is only a plastic pistol grip and mine has an integral fore end.
