An excellent condition1st Series, 1st Type, B.S.A, Club Airsporter.177 Calibre Air Rifle, the fore runner of the BSA Airsporter MK1 Air Rifle. It is serial number EA 18089 which dates it to between 1950-1954.

A while back I acquired a E prefix Club E10073 (so an early gun) in a lucky deal at a local shop, it's in 'honest' worn condition with very faint etching and a faded to light grey trigger block.shoots very well and I was using it at the Bash last year on the bell target. Today at a very quiet rain lashed Malvern I saw a fair condition G prefix MK1 Airsporter, it had the Sile one piece stock, sight protector and grip plug all present, and again is average to pretty good 'honest' except the rear block was painted. I keep getting these and then selling them, so as the price was fair I thought 'why not' and brought It home.I had noted it too was a quite early gun and initially thought it within 50 or so of my Club, except when I put them side by side I now am the owner of E10073 and G10072 So back to the title, were these sequential guns, or did the Clubs have their own numbers (I am thinking back to the 1930's when the CS's were chucked in with the S guns and all were sequential). Hello, I have had this for years - I think it came from an early Guns Review.

I put it on here quite a fews back. I'm not too sure how accurate it is. Hi Ed, My gut tells me both Airsporters and Clubs shared serial number sequences. If we look at the EC prefix Sam mentions, very few are believed to have been made with this prefix but yet I know of two EC prefixed rifles numbered 1925 and 2439. Krasivie bukvi russkogo alfavita dlya nika 7. I suspect both of these EC Clubs shared the same serial number sequence as late GA or early GB prefixed Airsporters. The definitive answer will come from the BSA ledgers in JKs care.

Well done for acquiring two apparently consequentially numbered rifles BTW - I would have gone to Malvern myself yesterday but there was a vintage comp at Bisley and I had a Diana Model 30 to test. Kind regards, John.
