Going by the flyer Mitch new for 1949.
My favourite part of the advert is:
IT SHOOTS LIKE A REAL GUN!......has front and rear sights. :roll:

Nice ad for a very early Marksman.
Yes, best keep a finger on the trigger at all times, in preparation for those pesky wrong doers!
Kind regards,
Phil

Im sure I've got a version of that up in my (hoarder's hole) loft. Saturday-task tomorrow.... find it! lol I think there have been arguments on another forum recently as to whether this is now regarded as R.I.F. Maybe I'd best leave it in the loft

I have a couple of versions of it from the 70s.
I like them for their attempt to deviate from the usual style of airgun available at the time.
Kind regards,
Phil
