My late elder bro bought his banana barrel Mk1 pistol for £3? from a s/hand shop in Bournemouth in the '70's, also a mint boxed Original Model 6 for serious money, think £12 or so.
My local 2/hand shop, in Shepton Mallet, known locally as 'Dodgy Joe's', always had a range of battered air rifles in, & a somewhat relaxed attitude to age regulations. My first rifle, a '50's Diana 27 w' ali trigger came from there, for the princely sum of £5.
