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: :lol:

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 :shock:

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
