The metal work retains all of its original blue finish. It has a ramp block and blade fore sight & adjustable target rear sight. The top of the cylinder is milled for scope mounts and is correctly marked 'BSA Meteor' (without arrows as found on standard Meteors). It has the correct drilled hole for sight relocation. The rifle's serial number 'TH5637' which identifies the rifle as a .22 calibre MK V Super Meteor (see page 44 of The Collector's Guide to Air Rifles By Hiller). The barrel's bore is clean with crisp rifling and it cocks and fires as it should with a strong spring action.

The edges of the box have some wear. The price includes UK delivery. NB As a post 1939 Air rifle the restrictions of the Crime Reduction Act apply to the sale and delivery of this item. Sn 18085:26
