Congrats on the beautiful Sheridans Marty!

Always good to hear from you Billy. Thanks!

My wife is a very savvy individual. She's been briefed IYKWIM.

Is that like the saying I've heard on GTA?: I hope when I die, my wife doesn't sell my airguns for what I told her I paid for them.   

Something like this Dave...read discription. Not sure if the poor guy died or the other "D"?

yep... 'zactly... by the description.
Now, that said it has been refinished and painted
I would rather have a worn brass 'Dan than one painted black.
I think her current price at $114 is about max but morbid curiosity made me put it on my Watch List.

I could smell the paint from here.

There's another one out there that folks might be bidding on. Take a closer look at the roll pins. Someone got carried away & bent the tube. All ready at $300 with a day to go.

Sheridan’s are hard to beat so it’s no surprise they have a large following. I was hoping one of these folks has a late model Dan that can share what their William’s looks like. I am interested as to when this change occurred, if anyone knows please chime in. Thanks

Here's another '75. Same year as mine with the same Williams...I think. Font is different than mine. Was there more than one manufacture? Pop-offs of today have round peaks on the letter's "W" & "M".

My WPS thrown in for comparison;

[Yng@hrt]

The current Williams peep sight pop-offs being sold have a noticeable difference in their script when compared to my ’69 & ’75. Although I have never seen a script like that on the ’75 my gut kept telling it is a pop-off as well. I think this pretty much confirms it…top view of the ’69, my ’75, & the one in the first pic above…

...it is obviously a very nice gun but not what I was looking for, if anyone is interested in it send me a pm.

[Yng@hrt]

With regards to the '75; I just happened to take her out for another look & tilted her at just the right angle & the entire stock has tiger stripping. Absolutely stunning. I have never seen a more beautiful pattern on walnut. This & there is no question she has never been shot, plus she already has a peep, factory or not. 

Sorry, I think I'll hang onto this one. 

[Hoosier Daddy]

CONGRATS!
 Good choice me thinks... PM sent on the 79

[Yng@hrt]

Thanks Scott...I don't know what I was thinking...

This pic doesn't do it justice. The tiger stripping is even more pronounced in person...light reflecting in all directions really illuminating the grain. A silk like appearance.

Man has this been a slow day or what?

Guess I'll see what all the fuss is about on unionrdr...

Super sweet.  Looking at your list of ol pumpers it looks like it found it's way 'home' finally.

That Crosman 101 looks aweful lonely? 

[Yng@hrt]

Steve, when I posted up top I meant GTA in general was a slow (yesterday). Usually when I log in it takes several minutes to view new posts. I think everyone was taking a siesta.

Yup the 101 is lonely & she’ll probably stay that way unless a 108 falls in my lap & chances of that happening are slim to none. I really don’t need another obsession model. Benji’s & Dan’s keep me more than occupied as it is.
