A classic passed down from my Grandfather when he passed. C02 Powered at about 450fps. However, these old pellets really interest me. Does anyone know approximately how old this tin could be?

Not as old as me, I remember seeing them in the 60's or 70's.... IIRC....

Nice heirloom of your grandfather buddy.

Those pellets predate my first Slavia in '74. My first tin of pellets was the same size and shape as they are today.

Aaaaah fond memories Smile

I just found a collection on the web that showed a complete pistol set that came with a box of pellets like yours and the manufacture date was May 1 1960

I have shot it a few times. However, One of the seals must have worn out by now, because I dont seem to get nearly as enough power as I should.

I just bought the same thing. You can get a reseal kit for about $30. I will try to get you the name of the guy. Awesome gun with tons of power!
