Tinplate Briton & Limit push barrels. Rare?

Hi,
As I mentioned on my introduction I've recently bought a collection of vintage Air Pistols with a view to keeping my favorites and selling some at Kempton Park next month.
I'm going to pick out some interesting ones I'm having trouble putting a price on and see what you think regarding rarity and possible value.
Thsese are part of a group of push barrels that are in very good condition but are possibly quite rare (or so common they don't get much of a mention)
They appear in Dennis Hiller's book but there is very little online about them:

'Made in England' indicates pre-war as after 1939 the had 'British Made' on them.
Both work well and have original insertion pins.
I know a few of you are fans of push barrels.
Any thoughts?
More to follow.
Thanks.
