*c-1890* German Made ‘Gem’ .177 Air Rifle. 21310. - 21310
The Gem started off back in the 1870’s, 20 years before many guns we consider as the beginning of the airgun era appeared. The American design was adopted in Germany, and manufacturing started. Made less from engineered steel, and more from castings. A classic Vintage rifle which was produced from around 1870 to about 1930. It was manufactured in both rifled and smooth bore barrels and in .177, .22 and the rare .25cal. This fine example is a .177 calibre. The history of the Gem rifle is all a bit vague and there are plenty of publications, but most of them are contradictory, no surprise there either. What is for certain though is that many were manufactured in Germany for Quackenbush when Haviland and Gunn sold their patents to Mr Henry Marcus Quackenbush of New York. C.G. Bonehill of Birmingham manufactured a modified version of the Quackenbush called the Britannia and this manufacture started around 1905. 16 ½ “barrel (33” overall length) with fixed front and rear sights. The wooden stock is in very good condition for its years with only a few age/use related marks. A steel butt plate is held by two screws. ‘Patent? GEM’ is imprinted on the barrel. See page 122 of Hillers Air Rifles for reference. The loading and firing actions work perfectly. Price includes UK delivery for this very early first series rifle. 21310

*Early 1919 BSA Standard No1 (L Prefix) ‘The 1919 Model’ .177 Air Rifle. AI 723. - AI 723
BSA never actually referred to the first air rifle they advertised after WWI as the ‘1919 Model’. This designation is taken from the sole year of manufacture and is used in this work to describe a transitional model between the pre and post WWI light pattern air rifles. The 1919 Model provides a link between the last of the pre WWI BSA Light pattern air rifles with the between the wars Standard No1 rifles, and for that reason is worthy of study. Manufactured : 1919, approximate serial number range L1 to L1400. The serial number ‘L979’ is located as usual above the two hole trigger block. The more rounded style of 1920s stock was standard by the time L999 was made, once stocks of the pre WWI flat bottom type had been exhausted. See pages 108-110 of John Milewskis ‘The Book of the BSA Air Rifle 1905-1939’. There are no etchings to the cylinder which is correct for this serial number. The stock bolt can be accessed by the removal of the serrated fitted wooden cover. The stock is in lovely condition with only minor age related marks. The pre WWI side button catch on the under lever works as it should. The metalwork is excellent, again with minor surface wear. The price for this rare piece includes UK delivery. AI 723.

C1957 Webley Mk III .22 Air Rifle. AI 701. - AI 701
The Webley Mk III was introduced in 1947 and was of a completely different design to the Mk II Service. In some ways it was a step backwards. The fixed-barrel, underlever, tap-loading configuration was very similar to that of pre-war BSAs; with design origins back to 1905, but with an extended stock to provide a wooden for-end. The Mk III initially included a sophisticated double-pull trigger, as per the Diana 45, but this proved fragile and only about 2,500 were made before it was replaced by a simplified, more robust mechanism. Webley, for reasons best known to itself, moved the loading tap lever to the right-hand side of the action for the Mk III. The blueing on the barrel and action is in good condition. It does have some marks mainly to the Rear of the cylinder and cocking lever where the blueing has worn but overall it is in good order. The stock is in generally good order, possibly birch *there is indentation on the pistol grip/stock grip and the previous owners initials on the butt*. It does feature a very pleasing striped grain. The serial number is ‘24964’ which dates the rifle in between 1957 & 1961 (See page 243 of Dennis Hillers ‘A Collectors Guide to Air Rifles’. The rifle cocks, loads and fires with a nice tight action. The price includes UK delivery.
