**RARE TO FIND IN UK**1970’s Benjamin Franklin USA Model 342 Single Shot .22 Calibre Pneumatic Pump Action Air Rifle.

Our example is in very good condition, it is equipped with a fixed front blade sight and a basic adjustable rear sight.

Early Models (1955–1960s) were distinguished by a sleek "corn cob" ribbed forend, built using the original St. Louis factory valve system and manufactured at the original Benjamin Air Rifle factory in St. Louis, Missouri. Mid-Era Models such as ours made in the 1970s had smooth, or checkered "oversized" wooden pump handle. In the 1980’s after Benjamin purchased its longtime rival, Sheridan, late Models were redesigned internally to feature the highly efficient Sheridan valve assembly. Sights were elevated in 1985 to accommodate optional peep sights & operations moved to the Sheridan plant in Racine, Wisconsin. Our 1970’s piece has the correct chequered panel wood fore stock. All wood and metal are undamaged with just light handling marks. The metal work has calibre maker and model detail (all illustrated) and its bolt action and pump mechanisms work correctly.

1977-1988 Japanese Sharp Innova Single Shot .22 Calibre Pneumatic Pump Action Recoilless Air Rifle. AI 602 - AI 602 The Sharp Innova was manufactured from 1977 until 1988. The rifle was designed and built in Tokyo, Japan, by the Sharp Rifle Manufacturing Company (which grew out of the Tokyo Rifle Laboratory founded by inventor Kensuke Chiba). While production began in Japan in 1977, they majorly flooded the UK and European markets throughout the 1980s, which became the rifle’s "golden era" for pest control and hunting. The Sharp Innova is a classic, lightweight, and highly accurate Japanese-designed multi-stroke pneumatic recoilless air rifle that gained a massive following during the late 20th century. The forearm acts as a pump lever to pressurise an onboard air reservoir before each shot. This example is in very good condition. The frame & barrel have maker, calibre and model detail (illustrated) and serial number ‘A364299’. The power of the air rifle is increased by the number of pumps and a pellet loaded into the chamber which is exposed by pressing a catch on the action which releases the bolt for loading.

The rifle works as it should & has all of its original blue finish & its wood work is in excellent undamaged condition with ribbed shoulder stock butt. The rifle has a blade fore sight and telescopic sight rail. The price includes UK delivery.

**SCARCE IN THE UK**MINT**1949-1952 USA Sheridan Products Inc C- Series "Silver Streak" Bolt Action Loading, Pneumatic Pump Action .20 Calibre (5mm) Single Shot Air Rifle. AI 600 - AI 600 Sheridan Products Inc. was formed to produce Pneumatic Air Pellet Rifles with production beginning in March 1947. The company name Sheridan was reputedly in honour of the Civil War's General Philip Sheridan. The Sheridan Model C "Streak" was introduced in 1949. This is the model that ushered Sheridan Products Inc. into profitability. The Model C Silver and Blue Streaks are the pellet rifles that Sheridan is primarily known for. Sheridan manufactured the Model C Streaks for 27 years before being bought out by the Benjamin Air Rifle company in 1976 and ending the original run of Sheridan produced Streaks. Model C (Streak) (1949–1976) air rifles are well constructed Airguns using quality materials. They utilized walnut stocks, aluminium receiver, bronze barrel and pump tube. A different valve mechanism was used in the Model C than in the previous Model A and B. It was dubbed the "Streaks" with the Silver Streak being first with its Nickel finish, followed by Blue Streak in a black oxide finish in 1952. The only difference between the two Streaks is the finish. Sheridan Products Inc was acquired by its competitor, the Benjamin Air Rifle Company in 1977, thus ending the original line of Sheridan Model C's in 1976. Benjamin Air Rifle Company continued producing Model C's until 1992 when the company was purchased by competitor Crosman Corporation. Changes to the design of the Model C were made by both Benjamin and Crosman. Sheridan C- Series ‘Silver Streak’ air rifles are scarce to find in the UK. This near mint Sheridan Silver Streak air rifle has all of its original nickel finish and the woodwork is undamaged. The rifle is 36 ½” overall length and has a blade fore sight, iron rear sight & adjustable Williams rear sight. The frame is stamped with Sheridan Inc markings, together with 5mm (.20 calibre) detail and serial number ‘507088’. It is bolt action loading and has the correct safety catch feature. The hinged fore stock is pumped repeatedly to fully charge the rifle for a single shot. The rifle’s loading and firing actions work crisply. The price includes UK delivery.

*NAZI HITLER YOUTH CONNECTIONS* RARE*1930’s German Venus Waffenwerk Model Mars 100 Type (Small Form K98k) 4.4mm BB Lead Balls Only Bolt Action Multi Shot Military Training Air Rifle. Sn 23607 - 23607 This is a nice example of one of many Pellet Air Rifles used for training during the Pre-WWII Era in Germany, designed by the Oscar Will von Mars Repetier-Luftgewehr (Repeating Air Rifle) Company. These were available in two sizes, the smaller "MARS 100" and full size "MARS 115". The Mars pellet rifles closely resemble a scaled-down Mauser Model 98k, which would become Germany’s standard-issue Bolt-Action rifle in 1935. It would then be the standard German infantry service rifle throughout WWII. The Mars company went out of business after World War II, as with many other companies. The military appearance was purposely built to mimic the aesthetics of Germany’s standard-issue military service rifle, the Mauser K98k but in smaller form and were most notably used by Nazi Hitler Youth groups for training to teach basic marksmanship, safe gun handling and bolt-action manipulation before moving on to full bore firearms. Although there are no visible German maker marks or MARS designation on this example, it has similar features to the MARS 100 model. It has a full-length wooden stock and a Mauser-style wing safety catch at the rear of the bolt. Unlike standard break-barrel spring guns, these rifles use a unique bolt-action cocking system. It is gravity fed from an internal magazine & fires 4.4mm lead round balls (No. 4 lead balls only, not for steel BBs or traditional shaped pellets, as steel will cause jams and could cause internal damage). Because of their direct connection to WW2 history, surviving models are sought after by militaria and vintage airgun collectors. Our example is in excellent condition with all original un-damaged metal work and wood. It has a block and blade foresight, adjustable rear sight, steel butt, cleaning rod, forward sling bar & shoulder stock slotted for sling with sling lug. The metal work and wood have ‘3 Crowns’ inspection marks similar to Swedish inspection marks ( Sweden bought many K98 rifles from Germany but we cannot find any record of Sweden using K98 type air gun military trainers). The rifle is serial number ‘161’ and has indistinct numbers impressed in the wood (all illustrated). The rifle cocks and fires crisply. The price for this rare, Nazi era military training rifle includes UK delivery. Sn 23607

*NAZI HITLER YOUTH CONNECTIONS* RARE* HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER*1930’s German Schmeisser’s Patent Haenel Model 33 Junior (Small Form K98k) 4.4mm BB Lead Balls Only Bolt Action 6 Shot Magazine Fed Military Training Air Rifle & Sling. Sn 23617 - 23617 The Haenel Model 33 Junior is one of the most famous and highly collectible vintage military training air rifles ever produced. The "Junior" variant was engineered as a slightly smaller, scaled-down version of the standard ("Senior") Model 33, specifically intended for training teenagers and youths. Manufactured by C.G. Haenel in Suhl, Germany, during the interwar period 1933 until the onset of WW2, it was masterfully designed by legendary firearms engineer Hugo Schmeisser famous for the iconic WW2 Schmeisser Sub Machine Gun. The military appearance was purposely built to mimic the aesthetics of Germany’s standard-issue military service rifle, the Mauser K98k but in smaller form and were most notably used by Nazi Hitler Youth groups for training to teach basic marksmanship, safe gun handling and bolt-action manipulation before moving on to full bore firearms. It features a full-length wooden stock and a Mauser-style wing safety catch at the rear of the bolt. Unlike standard break-barrel spring guns, the Model 33 uses a unique bolt-action cocking system. Pulling the bolt handle upward and backward compresses the internal spring piston. It feeds exclusively from vertical, detachable box magazines holding 6, 8 or 12 rounds. It fires 4.4mm lead round balls (No. 4 lead balls only, not for steel BBs or traditional shaped pellets, as steel will permanently damage its rifled barrel). Because of their direct connection to WW2 history, surviving models are highly sought after by militaria and vintage airgun collectors. Our example is in excellent condition with all original un-damaged metal work and wood. It has a block and blade foresight, adjustable rear sight, ribbed butt & sling swivels fitted with period leather sling. The fore stock has period hand etched initials ‘NPY’ (most likely a previous owner or HJ trainee). The metal work has model and maker detail all illustrated. The metal 6 shot magazine is marked ‘Anschutz’. The rifle cocks and fires crisply. The price for this rare, desirable Nazi era military training rifle includes UK delivery. Sn 23617

*SOLD*16/9**ULTRA RARE*ONE OF ONLY 250*LOW SHOT COUNT*MINT*West German Mauser Model K440 (Diana Model 30) 4.4mm BB Multi Shot Tube Fed Bolt Action Gallery Gun. Sn 23618 - 23618 The Mauser Model K440 is a highly collectible, spring-powered gallery air rifle chambered for 4.4mm lead round balls (BBs). It is exceptionally rare because Mauser only produced a limited run of 250 units. The rifle shares its mechanical foundation with another famous German gallery gun the Diana Model 30 Heritage: The K440 is nearly identical in design, construction, and operation to the classic Diana Model 30 shooting-gallery rifle. It utilizes an under-barrel tubular magazine holding approximately 125 round lead balls (typically No. 9 calibre or 4.4mm lead BBs NB to avoid jams do not use 4.5mm ball or smaller copper balls). A distinct feature of the rifle is its internal, non-resettable mechanical shot counter visible on the action, which tracked total usage in active commercial shooting galleries. Our near mint example has the low shot count of 02292 which makes it a premium piece not having been heavily worn out by decades of public gallery abuse. It is engineered for short-range target engagement. Its power delivery is intentionally mild, matching standard German "Schießbuden" (shooting gallery) regulations. This near mint, ultra rare gallery gun has all original finish to the metal work and undamaged wood. It is 43 ¼” overall length, has winged blade foresight and adjustable dial rear sight. It also has the correct Mauser inlaid metal escutcheon and shot counter currently registering 02292 shots, low for its age. The rifle has the correct typical, large bolt which operates correctly. The stock has its original ribbed rubber recoil pad. The metal work has maker & calibre detail all illustrated and is serial number ‘8810880’. The price for this extremely rare gallery gun 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 23618
