This rifle is stored in our shop but is not on open display. We have seen repeating versions of this made by Girandoni but this one is a single shot and not made by Girandoni (sometimes referred to as Girardoni). Plain trigger guard fitted underneath with quite a thin trigger. Fitted with a ramrod which may well be later, probably not original and nice tiger stripe effect to the wood which has probably been refinished. The metalwork is in brown smooth condition apart from the brass coloured brass! The lock plate itself is devoid of any engraving or decoration, it is extremely plain and functional. The butt reservoir itself appears to have been recovered in leather some time after its manufacture, a really nice job has been done and it looks in good condition. The hammer mechanism is unusual with moving striking piece which strikes a just off centre located hammer. I will get some pics up on this thread, its just the weather is too fierce for photographing airguns.Whilst this antique butt reservoir rifle has no markings or makers name on it we are pretty sure it is of Austrian manufacture, there is no decoration and it is very plain in the military style. Glad to see there are other people who also hold them in high regard. Although I dont do much shooting now, in the past it has accounted for a fair few Rabbits and Rats and continues to do its duty every bit as well as any of these new rifles you see today. 177 Its a fantastic gun, although I have newer rifles I still prefer the old beezer for its well engineered simplicity and solid feel. I have a 1923 light pattern BSA underlever from 1923 in.

With reasonable care this one will last another 100 years or more ! The original two piece mainsprings have broken in places and the leather piston washer is in lumps in the chamber, with a mashed retaining screw, but other than that, with those bits replaced and a relube it will hopefully be as good as new. Though it is a pitted brown colour all over, the original screws and bolts have all come undone with a little heat and persuasion, bar the rear sight which I haven't had the courage to attempt yet. The stock and loading tap are in especially good order, suggesting it hadn't had much use. 177 one I bought recently, it looked like it had been sitting in a shed for at least 50 years, but fortunately it had no signs of damage or bodgery, though lots of ancient black dust, brown surface rust and myriad insects. A lot of the original owners of these rifles must have perished in WW1.
