Absolutely right Richmond, this Iconic pistol was absolutely years ahead in it's day and is one of the 'fathers' of all modern air weapons. It's slimline design emulating the automatic pistols of the era, so completely different from the 'fat' Webleys, and Westley Richards (which I always think look like a spurless Adams revolver).
The few collectors of antique and early air weapons lucky enough to have one usually reagard them as one of the 'crown jewels' of a collection.
I don't have any Guns Reviews, I would appreciate anything you could scan mate.........
But might be best if you email it to me.
Thanks
