Why not buy an other one!?Originally Posted by Graemevw
The Senior was the first air pistol I came contact with (granddad let me oil it and take it apart when i was a kid). Also the very first pistol I was desperately after many years later and they are not that common in the Netherlands. When one appeared for sale at a shop 50 miles away I mailed them and left messages saying I wanted to buy it the same evening. Jumped in my car next morning and when I arrived at the shop (Joppies Dump) there was a bloke standing at the counter with the Senior in his hand! Just as I remembered it gloss black, seemed in good condition. Appalled that he beat me to it at 09.00 in the morning! When he left with a tin full of pellets, the owner (Tonnie) turned to me. I explained the unfortunate incident and he laughed, apologizing many times. The then pointed to his personal collection at the wall (I did not notice it before), he said i am prepared to sell you one of these! I was over the moon, perfect pistol, still in my collection. Disaster turned out to spark my collecting fever.
