**MINT**Cased, 1953-83, West German, Walther LP 53 .177 Calibre, Air Pistol & Accessories. Sn 20383 - 20383
The LP53 (Luft pistole/ Air Pistol) was produced between 1953 and1983. It is a .177 calibre air pistol with the same design lines as Walther's famous .22 LR Olympia target pistol. The LP53 is all metal with beautifully formed plastic grip panels. Movie posters for early James Bond films show Bond holding an LP 53 or Olympia pistol instead of his usual service PPK. This example is in near mint condition with excellent finish to the metalwork and brown plastic contoured grips with Walther banners. Its 9 1/2" barrel has a clean bore with typical light rifling. It has target sights and is stamped on the left side of the frame with the Walther banner and patent detail 'LP Mod 53 Cal 4.5 (.177)' together with 'Made In Germany' & serial number '095947'. The pistol functions perfectly and is contained in its later green felt lined wood case with hinged lid and clasp fastener. The cased is monyed with metal initials ‘AMG’ most likely the initials of a previous owner. The case contains an original wood cocking aid, 2 spare fore and 2 spare rear sight blades, a steel cleaning rod and original instruction pamphlet with printed matching serial number. The price for this excellent complete set with connection to the iconic Bond series of movies includes UK delivery.

Produsit Ltd of 78 Lombard Street, Birmingham 12 produced approx. 8,000 of these air pistols in the 1940’s. Although named the ‘Thunderbolt Junior’ they were marketed as ‘Big Chief’ air pistols.

**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.

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.

Other marking, in the form of WEBLEY & SCOTT LTD BIRMINGHAM ENGLAND on the underside of the foreend.
