    I have this old 25 Cal air rifle that I believe my father brought back from Germany after WWII. The only markings I can find is Original (in script) on the top of the barrel. To loan there is a side leave to tips open to barrel. You cock by pulling down the hand guard. It worked the last time I used it 45 years ago but apparently lost is seals. Is there anyone local that has experience repairing old air guns? I would also like to also know if it has any collector’s value.

    I'd either take a look into Mike Melick at Flying Dragon air rifles or Mac1 air rifles. Both of these guys get race reviews about their craftsmanship in their arenas.

    Open it up and check the seal. The old ones usually used a scrap of leather. You may be able to cut a scrap (try tandy leather) and grease it and get a good seal again.

    Thanks all. I emailed Frying Dragon and will try to post at Gateway to Air. I tried to post photos here but it did not work. I will try a lower resolution.
