This was by far the most enjoyable air pistol video I can remember watching in a long long time. Excellent collection and presentation. Thank you for sharing these rare gems with us.
I had a B.S.A. .22 round ball pump rifle. It was very powerful, dated 1892 if I remember right. I used to dispatch chicken's & rabbit's during butchering time, with it. Beautifully blued, Walnut stock..should have kept it!
Excellent talk, filled a pleasant half hour on a cold rainy day in the uk, I have a Diana Mk4 a Cometa Indian and a Daisy 717, love them all, thanks again....
"really cool outside the box design"- puts it back in its original box . Great vid , ive seen photos of these pistols, so good to see how they actually operate . :-)
Amazing collection, they are indeed rare and unique. I never knew some of them even existed. Thanks for sharing these with us. Your effort to collect them over a very long period is seriously commendable.
Brilliant. I enjoyed that. I have a collection of air pistols myself, not as varied as that though. A Hy-Score and Feinwerkbau Mod 65 are the stars of my collection.
Nice collection. I have owned a crosman mk 2, it was quite nice. Sadly i've lost track of it. It was a replica of a Ruger mk 2 .22 rimfire pistol that I have and shot many pistol matches with. I only still own 2 air pistols now, a RWS Diana 6m recoiless piston pistol, very nice sights and very accuriate. And my favorite is a Baikal Izh-46 single stroke pneumatic, superb sights and trigger it's almost like cheating in a match. Glad that people still collect and appreciate nice air guns. Cheers from the USA
Airgun designs nowadays are lacking creativity. They are practically all the same mechanism with different plastic or pot metal shell. Thanks for sharing your nice collection!
This is such a fantastic video, thank you so much for sharing all this, and without hours of fluff. I didn't even know some of these existed... and I've been dying to make a stick-magazine like that Record Champion. So much awesome engineering, just thank you again.
I was amazed to see a stick magazine among these springers! I just own one Record model and never knew they even made these types of airpistols. Awesome stuff!
Watching on the 29 9 21... Great review on some fairly rare pistols....was originally searching for a review on the first pistol the Diana mark 4 then found this video..... Best wishes from south Wales UK
Boy thats some awesome collection.i had the second pistol tell ll VWW (Venus Waffen Werke).it was a crude built though(the breach seal rubber quality was great.lasted till i had it) but the smallest of the air pistol in my collection including the diana model 2 and other co2 and spring pistols.
@@gunsoutdoorsmilitary7816 Because of bullsh#t gun laws in Australia, air pistols are classed with other pistols such as a 45 acp 1911. Unless you have a pistol license which is hard to get they are not available.
Wow, just wow! So many cool designs have been tried during the course of time. I'm collecting mostly Feinwerkbau air guns... that Pardini is very similar with Feinwerkbau Model 100 by both looks and operation.
That Benjamin model 177 front pump pistol was made in 1935, they were made for 1 year before the model number was changed, there was the 177 and 122 which changed to models 107 and 102. There was also a model 100 smooth bore. They were a nickel finish over the brass, and a very thin black finish over the nickel layer. You do not pump them in your hand because that's too difficult, you push against a hard surface with the palm of your supporting hand against the rear plug of the tube. If you just hold it by the grip you're putting too much stress on the screws that attach the lower receiver.
I had a Dianna Mark 4, 60 years ago, I remember it as being quite powerful and fun to shoot. The only problem was that there was no safety when cocking it. When it was open and cocked, as you were putting the pellet in it would sometimes fire and the cocking leaver would fly back catching your fingers and hand. You soon learned to get that pellet in fast.
...I have a complete Shakespeare Acro 1 that I purchased new in the early 1970's in Ontario, Canada.....They have a 'poured' wax CO2 piercing seal that I repaired with a Crosman seal for a 38T....I put a bolt through the Crosman seal and tightened a nut down on it,...then spun it in my drill press while filing it down to the proper diameter....It worked great, but if I do it again i will make it very slightly wider as I did not take into account that it swelled when I tightened the nut, thus shrinking back a slight amount when the nut was removed....You have to be very careful not to break the piercing pin or you're really screwed....Anyway, it's working fine and shoots very strong and more accurate than they're given credit for (maybe I have a really good barrel on mine....) I have a small collection myself...3x 38T first variant, vintage 1322 w/14"barrel used for 'ratting' , early CP88, M92fs, Daisy 747 w/lothar barrel...and an Anschutz 250 10M rifle ....and a few others......I liked your video...John(west coast, Can.)....BTW, the Shakespeare was made under licence from the Ampell Co. in the USA...which were BB as well as pellet...called a Plink 'n Whiz....
Well done! Very interesting collection you have shared with us. The Arrow is somewhat of a conundrum, never seen one and nothing to be found on the web on it! A closer look on that one would be pretty amazing.
Hey there friend. I have recently found your channel and subscribed. I have recently found an acro 1. Can you tell me where you bought the seals for that one? Thanks
It's really shocking how much smaller a lot of these pistols are compared to current market equivalents. At least among the springers I've found to purchase. I'd love to see a reproduction/modernization of something as small as the Tell2!
I'd imagine that the .17 hmr cartridge hadn't been invented when that Saxby and Palmer revolver was made so they like the .22 might be banned now to stop people converting them to .17 hmr? although it'd be tricky as those air cartridges are centre fire and .22 long rifle and .17 hmr are rimfire.
As a ten year old boy in 1955 I had a Accles and Shelvoke pistol, seventy years later I still shoot airguns.

"This is brilliant. Well done and kudos. Amazing collection." Thanks for getting right down to it and showing us the pistols.

The Pardini SSP is a work of art, the Italians certainly have style.

Great video. I've just added a Diana Mark 1V to my expanding collection.
Nice collection.
Great collection man. Really enjoying this Video.
I received my acro 1 but it was branded to a company called ampell not shakespeare. Mine is 177. Works great.
I wish we could have air pistols in Australia so easily!. Your gun laws are still much more realistic than ours. Good video Edaggs!
What does gun laws so on airpistol in Australia?
In Sweden single shot and semi automatic below 10 joules are legal

And l thought UK laws were ridiculous, sorry for you mate.
Truly wonderful collection
Loved the video

I'm from NZ too. I have an FWB 80 and a very tidy FWB 300s. That's the extent of my vintage stuff though.
Thanks for showing your guns dude. So dope. Originals. Would love to plink with those!

I have a crosman Mark I .177
Somebody gave it to me 40 yrs ago as a present.
Very nice video lad! Enjoyed every second of it.

Awesome collection
Very interesting, thanks for making this video.
Amazing collection Sir!!!
I had the later version of the Diana Mk4 with the better sights and I do have a Gamo Center pistol, a little more sophisticated than the Falcon.
you could load a RWS 4mm20 Flobert, they have 4.5mm in Ø and not 4mm
Very interesting, thank you sir .
Nice collection
Maybe show some 6 to 10 Metre Target work - They are what they are, but great to show that!!
vraiment une belle collection dommage que je ne comprenne pas les explications merci pour la video
Haenel is pronounced HEE NELL, that's what I was told by my local gun dealer over 50 years ago
Good to know! Thanks
Had the Diana mk 1V, didn’t have much power, but shot quick and straight, good ratting pistol.
Thanks! Amazing!
Really cool collection and video!
Regards
Hey there friend. I have recently found your channel and subscribed. I have recently found an acro 1. Can you tell me where you bought the seals for that one? Thanks
Hello, I just used a standard Crosman co2 seal and resized it until it fit nicely.
I have two daisy powerline. 717 in
mint condition
One of my moms friend found a benjamin franklin in 100 caliber but it missing the top so it only has the pump and below
great your collection fo guns Have one for sale?

Watched this several times now. Thank You.
That Gamo is a Centre, the Falcon had a plastic moulded stock and non adjustable grip
😮 surprised no Webley s
WoW great vid, appreciate the collection. Where do you get them???
Benjamin bought out Sheridan in the 1970s. Benjamin eventually dropped the Sheridan name.
