BSA Standard No. 1 (L) .177

The ‘L’ prefix Standard No1 was discontinued towards the end of 1935 and in January 1936 BSA replaced it with the ‘A’ series. It could arguably be described as the fifth series of the standard No1 but is referred to as a separate model by collectors. Its original wood stock has a lovely colour *professional repair to the top of the grip/bottom right hand side rear*. It has an undamaged ribbed butt with trap. The underside of the stock is impressed ’14 ¼’ (inches). The rifle has a pinched blade fore sight and adjustable dial rear sight. The metal work is undamaged *slight stain to the cocking lever* with original blue finish and is crisply stamped with the correct 'A’ 755. The top of the barrel is laser etched ‘’The BSA Standard Air Rifle .177 Bore (No1) The Birmingham Arms Co Ltd’ with the BSA small arms piled logo and a list of patented sole makers. See page 140-142 in ‘The Book of the BSA Air Rifle 1905 to 1939’ by John Milewski (available on our website) for reference. The price for this piece of history includes UK delivery. 21293.
