* Early Pre-War ‘The Greener Air Rifle’ .177 Calibre with Rare W.W Greener Rear Aperture Sight. 22420. - 22420
A rare early unstamped pre-war W.W.Greener ‘The Greener Air Rifle’ in .177 calibre. This rifle was manufactured between 1933 and 1939 by the renowned Gun makers W.W. Greener of Birmingham and was the only Air Rifle they produced (The history of W.W. Greener begins in 1829, when William Greener, who had been working in London for Manton, a prominent gun maker, returned to his hometown of Newcastle and founded the W. Greener company. In November 1844, he determined that most of the materials and components he used for gun making came from Birmingham, and his business was being hampered by the distance between the two towns. Hence, he moved his business from Newcastle to Birmingham. During the period of 1845-58, W. Greener was appointed to make guns for Prince Albert. Money obtained from supplying South Africa with two-groove rifles enabled the company to erect a factory on "Rifle Hill", Aston, in 1859. It was around this time that the company began to really prosper). It is a heavy break barrel rifle which features a unique cam mechanism which pulls the barrel breach tight to the cylinder. This rifle is in excellent original condition retaining most of its original blueing. There is wear to the finish mainly on areas subject to more handling such as the underside of the cylinder and cocking link but generally it is in very good order. With this being an earlier model only ‘W.W.Greener Maker Birmingham’ is stamped to the cylinder and no serial number or bore type. The plain Beech buttstock has a lovely grain and is in very good condition with no splits or cracks having a saw-backed pistol-grip and blued iron heel-plate, blued iron trigger-guard with trigger adjustment screw and one-piece cocking link. The rifle is fitted with open front sights and rare aperture sights to the rear which are stamped ‘W.W.Greener Birmingham to one side and ‘PAT No 10555’ to the other, which function correctly. The rifle cocks and fires without issues and the cam mechanism works correctly. See pages 131-132 of Air Rifles by Hiller for reference. An excellent example of this rare collectable Air Rifle. The price includes UK delivery. 22420.

EXTREMELY RARE, 1890 To Early 1900's German Gem Break Action Combination Air Rifle Imported / Retailed by Arbenz Birmingham Capable of Firing Air Gun Pellets, or 32 Rim Fire Obsolete Calibre Bullets or Shot Shells. Sn 17182. - 17182
Gem Style Air rifles were produced from the 1890's to 1920. The patents for Gem Air Rifles were made out in 1894 and adverts for Gems have been seen as late as 1911 (see page 124 of A Collector's Guide to Air Rifles by Hiller). The break action of these models is performed by depression of the thumb operated lever located on top of the breech. This is an extremely rare example capable of firing .32 calibre rim fire ammunition (bullets or shot shells) & lead air gun pellets (internet resources indicate that .177 calibre air gun pellet conversion tubes were available in the period, ours is without conversion tube). C1887-1911, the New York based American inventor / gun maker Henry Marcus Quackenbush produced this type of weapon designated the Quackenbush model 5, very similar in appearance to our German made Gem (see page 188 of A Collector's Guide To Air Rifles By Hiller). Our Gem has a 17 ¾” round blued steel barrel stepped to octagonal and is just measures 35” overall length. The smoothbore has just light staining consistent with age. It has a blade fore sight, and the rear sight is a notched block which forms part of the barrel release catch. The breech has a winged manually operated extractor plate to extract 32 RF ammunition and its rim fire firing pin is present and functions as it should. Its action, cylinder tube and curved butt plate retain most of their original factory nickel plating. The original walnut shoulder stock has just light bumps and bruises to be expected. The top of the barrel is signed ‘Patent Gem No. 10937 together with crossed pistols trademark. One barrel flat is marked ‘Arbenzs Patent’ next to proof / inspection marks (A. Arbenz was a Birmingham based importer / retailer of Gem Air Rifles, see page 127 of Hiller’s book). The inside of the breech block above the pellet loading hole is stamped with faint numbers which appear to be ‘15’ ‘19’ and ‘1078’. The spring arm has matching number ‘078’. The cocking, loading & firing actions work as they should. The price for this extremely rare piece of firearms / air gun history worthy of further research. As an antique obsolete calibre combination gun, no licence is required to possess in the UK if held for collecting and display. The price includes UK delivery. Sn 17182.

*Powerful 11.66 ft/lbs* Air-Arms TX200 .22 Hunter Carbine MkIII Air Rifle with WestHunter HD 4-16x44 FFP Scope. AI 590. - AI 590
This pre 2006 model beech stock has a rollover cheek-piece with a high comb to aid scope/eye alignment. It has a raked chequered pistol grip with a black rubber vented butt pad. The Hunter carbine has a shortened barrel, and this makes it easier to manipulate in the field. The TX200 has a balanced mainspring, guide and piston system, which runs on synthetic bearings to reduce friction. Less energy lost to friction means higher efficiency, easier cocking and reduced recoil. It has a bull barrel with a threaded insert, which allows the fitting of an internal or external silencer. Fitted with a knurled cocking aid as standard. This example is in very nice condition, the wood is good with minor use related marks as shown in the images. The metalwork is excellent, with no visible marks. The serial number is 184787 *awaiting response from AA regarding the age of rifle*. The WestHunter HD 4-16x44 FFP Scope is solid and very adjustable. The rifles loading & firing action work crisply and smoothly, just as TX200’s do. The price for this very original and powerful air rifle with scope includes UK delivery.

*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. NB As a post 1939 Air Weapon the restrictions of the Crime Reduction Act apply to the sale & delivery of this item. AI 588.

*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.
