Title: Pawn Shop Benji this morning.
Post by: Desert Drifter on December 07, 2010, 04:45:01 PM
Found this not so old Benji 397 in a pawn shop this morning.  Walnut stock and iron furniture.  The guy said it was a Sheridan.  Didn't argue the point.  Shoots great!

Got it for $25.00.  Got the protection plan for $5 incase if something goes wrong it I could take it back.  $31.50 out the door.  Shop guy said he was glad to sell it.

Great find. I wish our shops would give them up like that.

 That's a great buy! That is a transitional model 397. It was built by Crosman. It has the newer Crosman style valve but still has the older Benji trigger. The first 3 digits of the serial # will tell you the month and year it was built.
