    Pretty dire to be honest
    A springer or one of the SSP models?

    I can’t think of any others. Surprising how few there are (were).

    Here’s another for you

    Morally flawed

    I have a really good condition boxed 71. Never worked unfortunately as piston washer completely degraded. Do spares exist? Steve

    I’ve never come across these before, looks like a nice gun. Can you tell me a little more about it?
    That means that if the four so far there are one each or left / right lever with back / front pivot.

    I forgot that one. Schmidt HS71, made in W Germany in the 70s and early/mid 80s. 4.4mm ball repeater with a 100-round magazine.

    It was the last pistol I got from Europe before Brexit put a stop to all that but I guess that’s not what you mean ! Not much to add to geezer. Here’s the box:





    The balls are fed into a container that surrounds the true barrel using the little funnel you see in the box. It’s a fun little thing but not exactly precision machinery
    Morally flawed

    I have a power line 722 and it’s the only other side lever air pistol I could thinks of - but yes it’s not a springer. I agree with you on the quality thought.
