**RAREST & MOST DESIRABLE**EARLY PRODUCTION**1907-1914 BSA Military Long Rifle Pattern ‘Long Lee Type’ .177 Calibre Territorial / Volunteer Lincoln Jeffries Patent Under-Lever Training Air Rifle & Sling. Sn 23262 - 23262 Westley Richards did not proceed with the concept of a military style air rifle beyond the prototype stage but BSA did and introduced the Military Pattern ‘Long’ air rifle in 1907 which continued to be made in small quantities until 1914. A short pattern was also advertised but no examples are known to exist (see Chapter 13 of ‘The Book Of The BSA Air Rifle 1905-1939 by Milewski). The rifles resembled the Long Lee Enfield rifle of the British army and the dummy bolt added to the weight and realism. Early variants were only made in .177 calibre and had underlevers with the bayonet/ duck bill style protrusion the same as ours. Long examples were affectionately known as 'Long Lees'. This is an excellent original early .177 calibre variant of the BSA Military Long Rifle pattern, Territorial or volunteer training under-lever air rifle with dummy bolt, flip-up ladder rear sight, sling mounts fitted with period leather sling and the cylinder crisply marked 'Made by The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited BSA Military Air Rifle'. It is early serial number 30. The rifle has a 21” long rifled barrel with block and blade fore sight. The rifled bore is clean and it measures 49” overall. It has all original military grade wood work impressed with BSA’s piled arms trademark & correct steel butt plate without trap. The bayonet style underlever has the correct Lincoln Jeffries Patent marking. The loading tap is marked ‘Patent’ and above the loading port has BSA’s piled arms trademark. The rifle cocks and fires correctly with a strong spring action. The price for this air rifle arguably one of the rarest and most desirable includes UK delivery. Sn 23262

**RARE**Cold War Era Post 1947 Czechoslovakian ‘tgf’ (Zbrojovka Brno), VZ-47 (German K98) 4.5mm BB Repeating (20 Shot) Bolt Action Military Training Air Rifle. Sn 23484:30 - 23484:30 Fashioned on the 98K Mauser, manufactured at the Czech Government Arsenal of "CESKA ZBROJOVKA," this is a Czech Army military training air pellet gun. Introduced in 1935 as the Vz.35 Air Rifle these were cheap to use, silent and ideal to break in raw recruits to move onto actual firearms. In 1947 the simplified Vz.47 was introduced, which was cheaper to produce, as it removed extra features like the bayonet lug, and utilized many more stamped steel parts. The machined parts of the Vz.35 were much more labour intensive. This example has a serial number of 06301 stamped on the top of the receiver under the 'tgf' which indicates contract for the DDR (East Germany) by Zbrojovka Brno, a maker of small arms, light artillery, and motor vehicles in Brno, Czechoslovakia. It also made other products and tools, such as typewriters and early computers. The rifle's overall length is 109cm and weighs just under 4kg. The stock is wood and has the usual use related marks. The rifle shoots 4.5mm calibre balls which are loaded via a folded sheet metal cover that just slides back to reveal the loading port, which holds 20 balls. To cock the rifle you rotate the bolt handle straight up where it interfaces with another part of a longer lever when pulled back. The bolt is pivoted at its base and rocks inside the action, pulling the powerful mainspring into full compression. The metalwork has a nice aged patina with no apparent damage. It is complete with its rear open adjustable sight and open front foresight. It cocks and fires with no issues and the swivelling safety catch on top of the action works as it should. The price for this rare piece 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. Sn 23484:30
