**RARE**Pre WW1 1913-14 BSA Standard Pattern .177 Calibre Underlever Air Rifle With Straight Hand Stock & ‘S’ Prefix Serial Number. Sn 23405 - 23405 This is a rare to find pre WW1 BSA Standard Pattern Air Rifle. These rifles were only made on a short production run between 1913 & 1914 replacing the improved Model D in 1913. Production ended in 1914 as BSA’s machinery was understandably required for war work. The Standard Pattern was re-introduced in 1919 (see Chapter 6 of The Book Of The BSA Air Rifle by Milewski who describes pre WW1 Standard rifles as scarce). Our example has the correct Pre WW1 variant features I.e. 1910 sear safety patent ‘Pat-30338-10’ above the ‘S’ prefix serial number S74537 on the trigger block (the serial is in the serial number range for pre WW1 Standard rifles (over 71000 lower than 80100), No cylinder markings, no BSA logo panels within the wrist chequering & BSA’s patents on the underside of the correct cocking lever (in 1912 BSA acquired Lincoln Jeffries Patents and the BSA name replaced Lincoln Jeffries). A period BSA advertising poster illustrated on page 61 of Milewski’s book illustrates the 1914 range of BSA air rifles including a straight hand stock Standard Pattern the same as ours. It has a 19 ½” rifled barrel (just over 43 ½” overall), a pinched blade foresight and adjustable dial rear sight. The metal work has even patina. It has a ribbed butt with trap. The breech is marked ‘Load’ and has BSA’s pyled arms trademark. The loading port lever has patent detail (illustrated). The rifle loads, cocks & fires crisply.
