BB PISTOL

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have two airgun pistols:
A) 118 Target Special manufactured in the Plymouth, Mich. plant.  It shoots a #118 bb has fixed sights and is pump activated.  I purchased this gun new in 1938 via Sears and Roebuck catalog ( AKA "Sears")
B) 177 Target Special manufactured in Rogers Ark.  It shoots a 177 bb, has adjustable sights, contoured plastic grip and is also pump activated. It is simular in configuration to A #118 but exhibits improvements and a generational step. 
The question(s) are; 
A) what is the approximate value of the individual guns? 
B) Are they considered collectables?
C) Should I hang them on the wall of my den to be handed down to my grand children after my DOC (date of croaking)
 D) or try to sell them and/or donated them to the Daisy museum for a certain amount of tax relief?
I will value your learned responses,
SDM

	Value of the .118 is 50.00 to 150.00 depending on condition. Value of the .177 is 25.00 to 75.00 depending on condition. They are both collectable. I don't think the Museum needs them. I would leave them to your Grandchildren if you don't need the money. They will appreciate having a toy gun that was Grandpa's.
