I knew they were some kind of gun, just learned last night they were air powered. That being said, I still know nothing about them !!! I got them from a guy that moved to the US from England. He was a producer for the 60's series called the Avenger. Also got several guns and swords, some of which were props for the series, these canes may have been also. I will post some pictures. As far as I can tell, one loads through the barrel end, other is a breach loader. Can email pics, do not know how to post them here. _________________ Live on a lake and don't fish,,,,,collect guns, and I don't hunt,,,,,,,,,,,,,be afraid, something is very wrong with this man.......   Posted: Tue Dec 22, 2009 11:39 pm AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" They were not all that uncommon, 100 years ago (!).
