Argh, how did I miss that M1?

I promised myself that M1 if no-one bought it as it was an early one with a wooden stock but thankfully another BBS member bought it and saved more expense on my part.

Thanks for the pics John. The fair looks as good as ever. Wish I could have been there, maybe next time.

Cheers,

Hi Jimmy

Photo 13 is of one of the oldest(in collecting years) chaps at the show and no, he is not a member on here. The rifle was mentioned on this thread and quoted below


Well spotted. The rifle Mike was looking at was a Japanese Hiki, which Mike explained dated from before WW2. Although it looks to be of tinplate construction, it's actually solidly made of steel. It created a lot of interest at the fair and I believe the rifle changed hands for around £500.

Great pictures of some interesting Airguns. Though my interest was peaked with the very first photo. Haviland & Gunn pieces are always of interest and this piece appears to have some interesting features. Would like to get some additional information from the owner, if at all possible.

Once again I find myself thanking all of those who made the journey to Kempton, collectors in general and traders like Keith and Tim in particular.

Photos like number 25 in John's link, just about sum it up. An endless line of rifles standing like soldiers and they were not even half of the stock on that one stall, amazing!

Thank you Mr and Mrs Binners. Another wonderful show and another gun added to the collection. Shame I didnt have more money, as there were lovely things where ever you looked. Until the next one .......
