*Scarce* C2004 Theoben HE System Gas Spring ‘Break Action’ .22 Air Rifle, and Simmons Whitetail 10X40 Telescopic Sight. AI 589. - AI 589
A gas spring is a sealed mechanism that uses compressed air or other gas to create a spring action. The mechanism installs in an air rifle in place of a coiled spring and piston. The gas inside the mechanism is under pressure all the time, but when the mechanism is forced to contract (by the cocking of the gun) the internal pressure increases. An internal piston compresses the sealed air or gas into a smaller space. The gun’s sear holds the internal piston in place until it is released by the trigger. Then, the piston springs forward to its fully open length. As it goes, it compresses the air in front of it in the same way a conventional spring piston mechanism does. At that point, it acts just like any other spring piston unit. having chequered competition type cheek piece pistol grip stock, moderator silencer. The Theoben H.E. Gas Ram is a sealed system using the same air pressure repeatedly, delivering consistent and reliable performance over thousands of rounds without maintenance. In very nice condition, the serial number ‘TB 16084’ dates the rifle to 2004. The walnut stock and metalwork with the patented safety at the fore of the trigger are in near perfect condition with very minor age-related marks to the wood and moderator. The scope is a Simmons Whitetail 10X40 and has a minor scuff from storage. The rifle comes with a free storage/carry cover. The rifles loading & firing action work crisply. The price for this very original air rifle and scope includes UK delivery. NB As a post 1939 Air Weapon the restrictions of the Crime Reduction Act apply to the sale & delivery of this item. AI 589.

In 1960, Daisy Manufacturing Company embarked on a marketing campaign that was to blossom into one of the largest segments of the airgun market.

*As New 11.47 ft/lbs* Air Arms Pro Sport Walnut .22 Air Rifle with an ER 4-16x44 SFIR Scope. AI 588. - AI 588
The Pro Sport by Air Arms is quite often regarded as one of the best spring-powered air rifles available today. This rifle is an under-lever, but instead of the lever being out the front of the rifle, upsetting the balance, it's neatly recessed within the stock, keeping the balance nicely proportioned. Along with this revolutionary design, the Pro Sport has the tried and tested 'CD' trigger system for a crisp and clean let-off every time. An anti-bear trap system is built into the rifle, which prevents the rifle from firing when the cocking arm is open. The mechanism inside the Air Arms Pro-Sport slides on synthetic bearing material, which reduces friction in both firing and cocking. The overall Length is 1050mm, barrel Length 243mm. The previous owner found the rifle not to their liking and it appears relatively little used (if at all) as it still has the original swing tag in place. The metalwork *small mark to the tip of the barrel* and Walnut woodwork *small mark to the left-hand side fore below screw* are very good. The pistol grip cap is marked and will be addressed before sale. The rifle comes with an as new T-Eagle ER 4-16x44 SFIR Scope. The rifles loading & firing action work crisply firing at a respectable 11.47 ft/lbs. Serial No-182177. The price for this very original air rifle and scope includes UK delivery.

*Scarce Pre-WWII* Early Model Millita Original ‘V’ .177 Air Rifle by F. Langenham. 22253. - 22253
The story of Langenhan begins in 1842 Germany in the town of Mehlis, Thüringen with Valentin Friedrich Langenhan (10th June 1819 – 2nd March 1886). Valentin, who at this time was 23, along with his father, Johann Gottlieb Langenhan, 51, bought a shop in which they set up their gunsmith business. Together they produced and sold various gun parts such as flintlocks, hair-set locks, guards, caps, tools and knife blades. Johann (16th May 1791 – 15th January 1883) was a master gunmaker and personally trained his son Valentin in the art. It is said that Valentin preferred to use his second name Friedrich which is frequently seen in Langenhan company literature. Perhaps this was to differentiate himself from another Valentin Langenhan who operated an iron and steel works that was also located in Mehlis. This example being the rifled version with the under latch, it comes with the F.L.Z. trademark stamped to the air chamber and an Original V within a circle stamped to the side of the stock. The serial number is stamped to the left side of the air chamber-L37042. See page 161 of The Collectors Guide to Air Rifles by Dennis Hiller for reference. The metalwork is good with only minor age-related pitting in areas. The wooden stock and butt plate are in very nice condition also, with a nice patina. It cocks and fires perfectly with a strong spring action. The price includes UK delivery. 22253.

*Rare* c1905 The Britannia Anglo Sure Shot Mk.1 .177 Air Rifle. 22250. - 22250
The Britannia air rifle was distributed by Ramsbottom of Manchester as the Anglo Sure Shot Mark 1 around 120 years ago. The Anglo Sure Shot is rarer than a standard Britannia, making up around 35% of the surviving Britannias. Numbered 2530, which is one of the lower serial numbers and is numbers matching. This is therefore an early production model, with associated features including a ribbed trigger, shorter barrel than later models (21 inches long rather than the 23-inch later barrel). The trigger adjustment screw access hole is through the swell of the pistol grip and can therefore be accessed without the rifle having to be held open. Clearly stamped COXS PATENT C.G.BONEHILL SOLE MANUFACTURERS and Britannia Trademark. The see-saw rear sight is fully functional, and the bladed foresight is present also. The wooden stock is good with only minor age-related marks *minor damage to the front left-hand side*. See page 13 of Hillers Air Rifles for reference. The loading and firing actions work perfectly. The price includes UK delivery for this very rare rifle. 22250.

*Rare* ‘The Improved Model Britannia' .25 Tap-Action Air-Rifle Signed C. G. BONEHILL. 22251 - 22251
A very rare Bonehill Improved Model Britannia air rifle. C.G. Bonehill used the experience he gained in making Fred Cox’s Britannia in making what he termed an Improved Model. Although it can look ungainly to modern eyes, the original intention was to make an air rifle suitable for target shooting from the prone and other positions, whilst utilising a fixed barrel. He achieved this aim, and the Improved model can be used from the prone position easier than a break barrel or underlever air rifle. The serial no 1423 date the rifle to circa 1910 is stamped throughout the metalwork on the rifle. It has a 19 ½ “barrel a blade foresight, adjustable ramp rear-sight and over-cocking air-chamber which is stamped 'THE IMPROVED MODEL BRITANNIA AIR RIFLE' over 'PATENTEE & SOLE MANUFACTURER' over 'C. G. BONEHILL, BELMONT FIREARMS WORKS BIRMINGHAM'. The slab-sided action body is stamped 'THE BRITANNIA AIR RIFLE' together with a picture of Britannia and 'TRADEMARK REGD'. The saw-gripped chequered walnut buttstock and iron heel-plate are in very nice condition with only minor age-related wear. The weapon cocks loads and shoots as it should. The price for this rare air rifle includes UK delivery. 22251.

SOLD SOLD *1919* The BSA Standard Transitional/Light Pattern No1 ‘L Prefix’ .177 Air Rifle. 22252. - 22252
BSA never actually referred to the first air rifle they advertised after WWI as the ‘1919 Model’. This designation is taken from the sole year of manufacture and is used in this work to describe a transitional model between the pre and post WWI Light Pattern air rifles. The 1919 Model provides a link between the last of the pre–WWI BSA Light Pattern air rifles, and for that reason is worthy of study. All serial numbers were prefixed with ‘L’ and this gives the collector a clue to the age. Therefore, a Standard Light Pattern prefixed with ‘L’ would have to have been made from 1919 to 1935. This model is stamped ‘L 842’ which makes it an early 1919 model. It has the correct 2-hole trigger block and is clearly etched to the top of the cylinder ‘THE BAS AIR RIFLE (Improved Model D) THE BIRMINGHAM SMALL ARMS Co Ltd ENGLAND-SOLE MANUFACTURER’. The original metalwork retains much of its blueing. The chequered wooden stock is in very nice condition with only minor age-related marks. A very nice example of a collectible rifle. See chapter 15 of The Book of the BSA Air Rifle 1905-1939 by John Milewski for reference (available on our site). The weapon cocks loads and shoots as it should, firing at 8.01 ft/lbs. The price for this rare air rifle includes UK delivery. 22252.
