Provenance: Interestingly, this pistol heralds from a time when Co2 powered airguns were a rare commodity in the UK. Victims of the 1968 Firearms act, Co2 airguns were classified as section 1 weapons, basically the same as if they were actually live cartridge weapons. This was reversed in the 1997 Firearms act. A receipt from a Toronto retailer for the sum of $63.81 (including sales tax) remains in the box together with a receipt from H.M. Customs, Manchester Airport for £2.25
