Bavaria (B.S.F.) Wischo Model 55N (Deluxe Walnut Stock) .177 First Buy of 2021

Well with my first purchase of 2021 I got a vintage .177 Bavaria/Wischo (B.S.F.) Model 55N (deluxe walnut stock), I have achieved a dream of mine and now own all 4 air rifle models that kicked of the magnum era (.177 Feinwerkbau Sport Deluxe, .177 Beeman R1, .177 Beeman Model 250 (aka Diana Model 45) and now the .177 B.S.F Model 55N.
My B.S.F. Model 55 surprised me when I found matching barrel and action serial numbers. Also it has some sort of stamp in the stock just behind the action (not sure what this is for).
In addition, it has the multi-steel plate B.S.F. trigger, instruction in German stamped on the trigger guard for trigger adjustment, double groves on fore end of compression tube, peep sight rail with stop lug, original front and rear open sights, articulated cocking arm and no safety and leather breech seal (very good condition) so I am positive it must have a leather piston seal (fingers crossed it is still good). Also it is stamped “Made in Germany West”.
Since it just arrive today all I have done so far is a light cleaning and inspection but I know I will be getting tuned at some point this year, but before I do that I need to find information on disassembly/reassembly.
Also not sure on year of manufacture at this time, best estimate is mid sometime from mid 60’s to late 1970’s at this point. However, if anyone has advise on how to determine year of manufacture or pointers on future tune I am all eyes and ears.

Nice! Great old air rifle and that's a super example, congrats. I'm not up on serials and dates for BSF's, but I would guess "3242" is a fairly early example of the 55. Later BSF's will often have a letter prefix in front of the number.
The stamp in the wood is SILE - the Italian company that made the stock. They produce stocks for airgun companies to this day, of course you don't usually see their name but their stamp was common on the old BSF's.
The gun definitely has a leather piston seal, likely a leather breech seal as well.
Lots of BSF info here:
https://forum.vintageairgunsgallery.com/bsf/
https://forum.vintageairgunsgallery.com/wischo/wischo-air-rifles-various/#post-86
"Wischo" was the trademark of Wilsker & Company in Erlangen. They sold other makes of guns under their own name too. You will also see BSF guns under the "Bavaria" and "Burgo" names.

Beautiful rifle, I wish mine was half that nice. I have to use a spring compressor but the ARH spring has less preload than a stock one. The scope rail has to come off but it is a easy rifle to work on. I live at 4100 ft. and my gun is worn but you should have no trouble getting the performance they claimed for that rifle back then with the right pellet. They are a wonderful rifle to carry on a walk in the woods and easy to cock for the power they make.

Since, it just arrived yesterday 1/8 I have not tested performance and will not do so until after I open it to inspect the insides.I do this t o the old air rifles before I test them out, primarily done to see if it is dry, check spring condition and prevent further damage of galling if any is/has occurred. Based on the external inspection it may need relubed as the grease visible on the trigger assembly and cocking slot is is very hard. Finally it helps me determine what I need to get to conduct a proper tune. One thing is for certain if the leather seals are good I like to reuse them.
When I tuned my Weihrauch HW55MM I found that Cambers in the UK makes very nice almost exact leather piston and breech seals and will use them again if the leather is bad in the model 55.

You should buy these...
http://northwestairguns.com/product/air-rifle-monthly-3-issues-from-air-rifle-headquarters-1960s-airgun-literature/
All three are great, and the "55 N Handbook" has everything you would want to know about taking the gun apart.

Thanks to the suggestions of Mike D and R1lover, I tracked down an original copy of the elusive Air Rifle Monthly, Issue #17, it is estimated to be delivered Tuesday, January 19th. Can’t wait to start reading it and getting an in depth understanding of my B.S.F. Model 55N and how to maintain, disassemble and reassemble correctly.

This finally arrived today after making its way from Havana, Florida on Friday, January 15th, arrived in Billings MT on the 17th the was in Great Falls MT on the 18th, somehow made its way to Whitehall MT on 19th (Original estimated arrival date to East Helena), called local Post Office was advised there were a few mis-sorted items in Whitehall but mine was back on its way to me, checked tracking package went back to Billings on from Whitehall on the 19th, then departed Billings on the 20th and arrived in Great Falls late that night, left Great Falls early on the 21st ONLY TO FIND ITS WAY BACK TO WHITEHALL MT at 8:00 am. I immediately got on the phone to the local post office and told them what had happened, all the local Postmaster could say was “WT?” from there she contacted Whitehall Post Office and asked them to direct ship item to East Helena. The town of Whitehall is only 66 miles from East Helena and sadly this package passed through our town twice while going from Great Falls to Whitehall adding approximately 350 additional miles and 4 extra days moving around the State of Montana to get here, but hey it’s here now.
After the crazy journey i finally have an invaluable and very informational book to go along with my 55N. Just as MDriskill advised me there are some outdated ideas that should not be tried, such as excessive use of moly and no spring compressor usage.

Well with my first purchase of 2021 I got a vintage .177 Bavaria/Wischo (B.S.F.) Model 55N (deluxe walnut stock), I have achieved a dream of mine and now own all 4 air rifle models that kicked of the magnum era (.177 Feinwerkbau Sport Deluxe, .177 Beeman R1, .177 Beeman Model 250 (aka Diana Model 45) and now the .177 B.S.F Model 55N.
My B.S.F. Model 55 surprised me when I found matching barrel and action serial numbers. Also it has some sort of stamp in the stock just behind the action (not sure what this is for).
In addition, it has the multi-steel plate B.S.F. trigger, instruction in German stamped on the trigger guard for trigger adjustment, double groves on fore end of compression tube, peep sight rail with stop lug, original front and rear open sights, articulated cocking arm and no safety and leather breech seal (very good condition) so I am positive it must have a leather piston seal (fingers crossed it is still good). Also it is stamped “Made in Germany West”.
Since it just arrive today all I have done so far is a light cleaning and inspection but I know I will be getting tuned at some point this year, but before I do that I need to find information on disassembly/reassembly.
Also not sure on year of manufacture at this time, best estimate is mid sometime from mid 60’s to late 1970’s at this point. However, if anyone has advise on how to determine year of manufacture or pointers on future tune I am all eyes and ears.
