Hi Folks,
I have a mint condition FWB model 90 air pistol, electronic trigger version, which I wish to sell but have no idea as to what price to ask? Surrey guns has suggested £400 !!! Sounds a bit much to me, whats the pistol collectors thoughts?
Cheers,

I'm with Garvin on this one, and the few that I've come for sale across don't fetch as much as the 65 or 80. I think that people are worried about the Trigger going wrong, and generally feel that the mechanical Trigger is upto the job anyway, and less problematic.

Chris Potter guns in Tunbridge Wells had one for sale recently for £600,it did look like new though.

A superb pistol, subject to unjustified criticism (IMHO) re the need for a battery to actuate the trigger. The battery is readily available and the trigger has the "dry fire" function not available on the 65 and 80 models. The battery lasts for years in normal use. Well worth £250 and upwards in my book for a good one.

Perhaps the FWB 90 is not quite as well balanced as the FWB 65 and 80 but it may appeal to a collector as there are fewer around than the 65/80's.
It is a nice pistol to shoot and in excellent/mint condition with manual and tools I would go along with £300

hold me back !!
I believe that of the FWB spring match pistols 65's are the most numerous, followed by the 80's with the 90's produced in the lowest numbers.
I guess that in the fullness of time the 90's may well be the rarest and go up in value?

Thanks chaps,
Have taken on board all thats said plus a good search on past pistols for sale/sold. The Pistol will probably be in circulation in a few days, got to sort some photos etc.
Thanks again.
