Great example and a nice bonus with the pellets. This one was originally sold in Sweden per the instruction sheet lingo; may well have come via Matts Hammer back when he sold off many of his collectibles.

A multi part auction is being held of the collection of Dr Ingvar Alm, one of the premier collectors in the US. Never held so many rare airguns in my life. Some I’m sure I will never see again. It was like going to museum but you could touch the exhibits. Unfortunately, for the amateur collector, RIAC is the premier gun auction house in the US and the lots contained multiple airguns. I purchased 7 airguns in this lot, containing 2 Tell 3’s. Will probably be selling many of the other guns including one of the Tell 3’s. Icing on the cake was in the auction pic you could see one Tell 3 box but it was not available for inspection. When I got back I open the boxes and found a cleaning brush and two cans of original “Tell” pellets. Never even knew these existed. Cool.

As a bit of a vintage pistol collector I have to say a nice Tell 3 would be top of my wish list,
but I doubt I could ever afford one for the prices they fetch in the UK.
You couldn’t hope for a better example than that, fantastic!
And those pellets tins are lovely 😊
Well done.
Matt.
It is lovely. If I understand correctly you had to buy it with 6 other air weapons to get your hands on it. I would love to know what the others are.
Cheers Rich.

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
Very nice,I particularly like the Challenger Plainsman Co2 pistols!
What a great lot those 7 air pistols. over here they would have been each sold on their own. the Scout looks to be in great condition as well. and to get 2 different sizes of Tell pellets in the box is a real bonus.
what a hardship.. you had to buy all 7... I feel for you
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
Really nice Steve, congratulations.
Nice buy Steve. Looks like that Tell 3 in it's original box with accessories was the icing on that cake.
