Nice rifle Harry and a lovely bit of wood , I found the best pellet in my 55mm was Bisley LRG's worth a try![]()
Dashed back home after a phone call to say a parcel had arrived for me.
Fresh from Germany, serial number dates her to 1956/7 happy to say the least.

Period canvas (oilskin ?) gunbag a great bonus, original dioptre, match heavy barrel and a safety-less Rekord.
58 years young, wear is nominal and condition excellent for the period, but a service is overdue, a trial firing left a pellet poking out of the barrel.
Rubber recoil pad perishing at the edges, but still overly solid.

Definitely the best of the breed these early 55Ts. Having pipped you to another quite the same, i was happy to see your post this evening Harry. Feels just right when you snuggle into that woodwork!
