BSA Standard Date???

[Garvin]

Hello fellow anoracks

I have a Bsa Standard in .177 serial No. T35392
It has a pistol grip stock with BSA impressed in the stock, a 3 hole trigger block and the No. 1 by the loading tap.

This is not identifiable with Mr Hillers book 3rd Edition.

Has anyone any Idea of model and date????????

Regards Mike

Possibly a transitional rifle Mike? But as my friend hwvixen points out, it should be in .22 cal so could be a bitsa.

According to Mr Knibbs there were 35,397 "S" prefix Standards made up to the end of 1935 and on 1st Jan 1936 the improved "T" model was launched. I'm fairly sure the numbering started all over again because I have a "T" Standard in the 1100s. But is it possible that yours was one of the very first "T"s tagged onto the end of the "S" model numbering?
