Sharp Innova .177 in original condition
Hi folks, i've just aquired the nicest original condition Innova i've ever seen.
Remember the aluminium 'Front ends' threaded for a silencer that replaced the original plastic front sight/fore-end assembly?.....well this hasn't got one!
Original varnish finish to woodwork.
Original front sight/fore-end assembly with hood...(And how many have retained that?)
Blueing in excellent condition....(Tends to rust under cocking arm)
All screws as new.
Trigger guard as new.....(The blueing on these wears badly and their prone to rust)
It even retains the label inside cocking arm telling you what points to lubricate.
This has to be one of the few Innova's that hasn't been tampered with, its been in storage for years.
To all intents and purposes it looks like a gun thats had maybe a few months use, then put in storage, overall near MINT condition.
Just one minus point, it doesn't have a rear sight.
I'll try and post some piccies over the next day or three.......damn it, i might be tempted to sell.....
Picture of Fore sight, if you click on enlarge you'll see that the crowning is like the day it left the factory.

The gun itself..just needs a rear sight to make it 100% original

Picture of cylinder....these usually have scuff marks and rust spots through wear, this is a tidy example.

Now the question is.....what price do i put on it? do i use it as 'Bait' to get hold of a Sharp Victory or Pan Target? or even a Venom tuned Innova?
