Thanks for the advice boys.
The Spezial is already as good as gone. I have given my word.
The Fwb is not yet up for sale and can still be saved.
The problem is that I have got the bug for air pistols and although I have three nice springers (a HW45, and two FWB LP 80s, one of them as good as mint), I am hankering after a match pcp - probably second hand as I can't go the full 1.5 grand for a new one unless my wife suddenly becomes the most supportive partner in the world.
