Another airsporter date please

[cyprinuschris]

Right the code is G105548 thankyou in advance

[Sam Vimes]

If you are absoluteley positive that it's a single G rather than a GL or GI it makes it a MK I dated from 1948-1954

[cyprinuschris]

thankyou for that i'm not positive because my ganga at work bought it the other day for getting a rat in his back garden, so i'll check it and any if it is that serial what would it be worth any ideas ? again thankyou in advance

[I. J.]

If its got an auto pop up loading tap its a Mk1 (or 2).

GL = .22 cal 1976 Airsporter MkVI. Mint condition £100, good condition £80, average condition £60ish, poor condition? Wouldn't bother as for a few quid more you can get a nice average to good condition one (.22 MkVI are the most commonly available Airsporter. Why? Because they were very popular in their day ).

right an update he didn't bring the gun into work today so i haven't seen it but the docket/receipt from the gunsmiths states G105548 so it does look like it is a G then the numbers and not GL or GI so what is it worth fellows any idea also when i do get to look at the gun where am i looking for the serial number ? just to make sure and once again thankyou in advance

A letter "G" on its own would be a very early MkI Airsporter from between 1948 and 1952. I recently picked up a rather nice example of one of these in tip-top shooting condition off our Baz here on the BBS for £115 posted. Several have also been sold for around this price so far this year, so that would suggest the going price for a good to very good condition one should be around the same. The MkI serial number is on the underside just in front of the trigger guard. ATB & HTH : Gareth W-B.
