This is my fathers Hahn 45, which I just found out was made by Crosman. The gun has a great feel to it and so much fun to shoot.

The only one I have that slide's under the date, my "79" Silver Streak that I found in un-fired condition from of all place's Berkeley U.

You must have read my mind Thud, lol. I was thinking about starting an oldies but goodies thread myself. The Hahn is beautiful- I've never seen one before.

Okay, here's mine

:

Benjamin 312, year of manufacture 1963
Winchester model 435 manufactured in 1978
Marksman model from the mid-70's
Diana 50, probably made in the early 60's (based on an educated opinion from someone else)

I don't think this was will make the cut as a pre 1980 but it is
SWEET!
Sheridan Model E9A in .20 cal, serial number 301703008

These next two will though.

Smith & Wesson Model 77A in .22 cal, serial # 6007453

Benjamin Franklin model 137 in .177, serial " 8116089

They all shoot really well.

Here's my 1949 Crosman 100, .177. A real tack driver.

'74 Sheridan .20 I bought brand new in '74, Cost? $50.00.

I have 3 that are Vintage.
Schimel Gp22
Crosman 600
Crosman 38-C

The Schimel is in need of repair.
The 600 shoots but is prone to getting jammed.
The 38-C shoots all day long.
All 3 are CO2 and .22 cal.

My Crosman 180 I bought about 1964 that sill holds CO2 (I have a Marksman Repeater pistol that I don't have a picture of right now that's from '62 or so)

I am really liking this new 'Gate!'

Ah, the Crosman 180 brings back happy memories! It was my first gun, bought for me by my dad when I was about 8 years old in 1956 or 1957, I think. We lived in a large ranch house with a full basement where he set-up an excellent range for year-round shooting. I don't know that I have ever enjoyed another gun more than that one.

Here is a 50-60's Slavia ZVP, in very good condition I found at a pawn shop recently.
maybe for sale soon

Nice to see some beautiful older airguns here!
Here's my 1967 HW35. Lovely shooter. Picked it up (with the old case in the first pics) for a song.

Agreed

My first airgun, too. My dad bought it for me for Christmas, 1983-ish.
I still have it and shoot it, but it is begging for refinishing...

SnoValley · « **Reply #13 on:** September 24, 2011, 11:13:02 PM »

Crosman 116 manufactured between 1951-54, I think....
Bulk fill co2, .22 cal, shoots strong and feels great in the hand, accurate too!
Just did a reseal and re-patina, acquired in a trade and the bulk fill head had the usual plier teeth marks as did the power adjuster.
A little lathe work and some chemical help and it looks vintage again.
The original plastic grips shrink over time and these were so tight that once I wrestled them off they would not go back.
Lots of dremel and file work on the inside and they now fit like new.

"dang", now this is interesting. I bet there are some people here with some right unusual things...

Here's my haenel... I'm not sure anything else i have qualifies for 'vintage' but my 880...

airgunandy · « **Reply #15 on:** September 25, 2011, 07:35:00 PM »

WOW! When did this gate open??? Too many gates, too easy to get lost!

Here are my vintage pumpers:
Crosman 102 .22 caliber 20 shot repeater - late 40's
Crosman Powermaster 66 - original version with metal receiver from 1988
Sheridan Blue Streak - Crew Cut Rocker Safety from 1965
Crosman 1377 - phase one from 1978 with old 150 style grip frame

Baikal IJ-22 - late 70's Made in the former Soviet Union

Andy, I think this one even more than the Turkish gate (of which I am personally fond) lends a bunch to the "interest" of the hobby. One thing I do NOT know much about is vintage stuff beyond what I had as a kid. Airguns have been around for a long time, and I think there is a lot in this gate for many people to learn from and share.

OK, I found another one of my fathers old air guns..but this one I have no idea what it is. I know it is a BB gun and you have to slide the barrel to cock it (like an semi auto .45)..but other than that I have no idea. I think it might even use a slightly smaller BB. I do know that he and his brother repainted it at some time though.

cole5169 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 28, 2011, 08:38:43 AM »

Looks like a Daisy 118 Targeteer to me.
