Abas Major for sale

[Benelli B76]

Just seen one advertised for sale but not sure if the price is acceptable. Boxed early model in good condition with wood grips. Any ideas on present value ?

In my experience a tidy Abas Major, with no box goes for about £500. I have seen a few at this price. With a tatty box I would expect a little more, but never more than £600.
In my opinion Baz, there are many sellers who believe that a boxed , rare pistol is very valuable. I am not of that opinion.

If I wanted it , I would value it at £1250.00

If you want it , buy it before someone else does.

I agree and would estimate a boxed, first series Abasmajor at around the £1000 mark.

There speaks a shooter rather than a collector! You either have a feel for air gun history or you don't.

Not that there is anything wrong with either viewpoint.

Thanks Sam, I do not want it, but fancy the next one this guy is selling, a Tell 3.
I totally disagree with that saying as I believe this short life we have will be appraised to determine the next very long term one.
