SOLD SOLD (20/03) **RARE & UNUSUAL**1925-1935 German Hubertus Push Barrel Spring Piston .177 Calibre Air Pistol. Sn 20391 - 20391
A rare Hubertus .177 Calibre Air Pistol manufactured by Hubertus Metal Works, Mollin, Germany between 1925 and 1935 (see pages 98 & 99 of Hiller’s book ‘The Collector’s Guide To Air Pistols’). These pistols were manufactured with smooth bore and rifled barrels. They are a push barrel spring piston single shot pistol modelled on a pre war German Semi Automatic pistol and this example is the smooth bore version. It has an unusual cocking method. Firstly the barrel is pushed in until it engages the sear, the circular collar is then pulled back the barrel then drops down allowing the rear of the cylinder to be exposed. A pellet is then inserted and the barrel pulled back fully out of the cylinder (assisted by grip grooves at the muzzle), tilted horizontally and the collar re engaged by pushing it forward to secure the cylinder. The pistol is then fired in the conventional manner. This particular pistol is in excellent overall condition and retains its original blue finish. It is crisply marked ‘D.R.G.M Hubertus Germany’ on the left side of the action. The original wood grip is in excellent condition. It has an 8” barrel & measures 10 ½” overall length.

**VERY RARE** ONE OF 2000, 1946 -1949, 2nd Type British A.A. Brown & Sons Abas Major .177 Calibre Air Pistol With Brown Plastic / Bakelite Grips. Sn 1262 - 1262
A.A. Brown & Sons were established in 1930 at Whittall St in Birmingham and mainly concentrated on making sporting guns but towards the end of the thirties and during WW2 they were producers of weapon components and machine tools. After the war both work and the necessary materials to continue with their normal line of work dried up and the company were scratching around for things to enable them to survive. This inspired them to produce an air pistol entirely of their own design which was marketed as the “Abas Major” (the name Abas derived from the initials of the company name). One of only three English air pistols that use a tap loader, the Abas Major was produced between 1946 & 1949. Only 2000 Abas Major’s were manufactured. The underlever (trigger guard) cocking air pistols were produced in three variations which can be identified by the grips. The first model had walnut grips, the second model had smooth plastic / Bakelite grips and the final model had chequered plastic grips. Although work like this helped the company though a difficult period, they soon returned to their normal product line and were a renowned manufacturer and customiser of high quality sporting guns. This is a good original example of the 2nd pattern Abas Major with original, undamaged smooth plastic / bakelite grips in .177 calibre. The pistol retains its original blue finish which has areas of surface wear consistent with age and use. It has a blade fore sight and adjustable rear sight. The top of the cylinder has the correct loading port marked ‘Load’ and the correct thumb operated loading lever. The right side of the cylinder is marked ‘Abas Major’. The front of the cylinder has ‘.177’ calibre. The left side of the trigger guard lever is stamped ‘Regd design 845425’ and ‘A.A. Brown & Sons B’Ham’. The right side is stamped ‘Abas’ and ‘Prov Pat’. The grip frame is stamped with serial number ‘954’ (of 2000). The cocking lever has a pellet measuring hole marked ‘Pellet Gauge’. Its 7” barrel has a clean rifled bore. It measures 8” overall length and the pistol cocks and dry fires crisply. The price for this very rare air pistol includes UK delivery. NB As a post 1939 air weapon the restrictions of the crime reduction act apply to the sale and delivery of this item. Sn 1262

**WORLD’S SMALLEST* 1927-1935, German Tell II .177 Calibre Break Action Nickel Plated Smooth Bore Air Pistol. 20389 - 20389
Venus Waffenfabrik of Mehlis Germany produced the Tell II Air pistol between 1927 & 1935. It is made of tin plate and measured 5 ½” overall length. It was advertised as 'The World's smallest spring piston Air Pistol' (see pages 157 & 158 of The Collectors Guide To Air Pistols by Hiller). Its unique concentric design made it the Father of several full size Air Pistols. Before cocking the pistol, a lever is swung out from the rear of the grip to afford mechanical advantage while cocking is performed. The Pistols were only made in No 1 Bore/ .177 calibre. This Tell II .177 Air pistol is in very good condition, fully functioning with original nickel finish which is rubbed in areas consistent with age and use. Its original flat chequered wood grips are intact and secured by a screw bolt. The price for this air pistol which led the way for modern Air Pistols includes UK delivery. AI 597.
