The one mentioned by 'Nailer' and the one currently discussed are probably/possibly one and the same being that which was offered for sale by Dennis Hiller a few years ago.
I think I probably still have his original advert. I know he did take a while to move it on, as although they are undoubtedly rare, as 'Trevorj' says they have little aestethic appeal, but are a great addition to any BSA collection nonetheless.

Thank you for the replys gentlemen.I guess because they very rarely come up for sale it's difficult to put a comparitive price on one...?If any other members can add too this thread i'd be greatfull...especially if they can suggest a market value for this,as once I establish that i'd offer it up for sale.

If no one can offer a comparitive price...i'd probably have to go to an auction to get the "going rate"...suggestions please (clean ones!!)

Hello All,

Interesting thread. Not the type of Gun layer I have seen in the past – that one had a couple of large brass elevation wheels attached.
Still, cat among the pigeons time and to start the ball rolling, I would guess a BSA collector might pay £500:00.
As slug gun said “they have little aesthetic appeal, but are a great addition to any BSA collection nonetheless. “

But what would I know ……………

Thanks Sam...any constructive comments are welcome.I guessed their wouldn't be many in the hands of fellow BBS members & I appreciate they aren't that appealing to "mainstream" airgun collectors.Perhaps their full value would be realised more from a military angle than an airgun one...?

I did read somewhere only 200 or so were produced,so from that point of view they are perhaps rarer than any other production BSA.? Thanks again...anyone else have a view..?

Here is an old advert from Dennis Hiller's lists, as mentioned by Chris above, which may or may not be of any use. Typing was never his strong point.

Many thanks Danny...you are an oracle...or something like that... this one looks to be the very one mentioned in the first ad.
