Rich, I think the retro 'tootsie roll' pump handle makes them a bit more desirable than the later chunkier ones. But not as desirable as the earlier 312. The rifles looked as though they had been stored in a shed with light surface rust, but the Benjamin being phosphor bronze didn't.
It had the usual crack at the grip from incorrect pumping technique.

Are these more desirable than I thought?
Rich.
