Venom Mach 2

[Sniggy]

Another one of my oldies, this was one of 18 if I remember rightly but only two were made with a t/h stock. 177 calibre.









Again another stunning Venom airgun.

Love the engraving and overall metal work!

The timber is great to.

Stunning, is that Don Blocksidge's engraving work ?

Can't mistake the Venom "Skip" chequering.....what a beaut.

[Sniggy]

If I was a betting man Matt I would say yes, but seeing as these were all custom built we'll never know.

He did most of Venom's work.

I read an article about Don years back, as a Webley apprentice if any of the pistol frames were cast with flaws in they were given to Don to beautify rather than scrap & melt down.

These "reject" pistols are worth a fortune now.

Wow, I remember seeing the Venom centrefolds in Airgun world but never thought anyone could bring them over here, did you do a special import back in the day and it would have been quite a drama to do so wouldn't it? That is the ultimate collectable in my eyes. Hey I know you'd never part with it but if ever you might consider then keep me at the top of your list please! thanks Andrew

I'd say that picture was taken in the UK Andrew.

Those windows in the conservatory are UPVC, and that's an English garden I'd say.

Keep wishing buddy, you never know what might turn up.

[Sniggy]

Yes they are pictures from the Uk, and yes I sold this and a Mach 1 to a Yank.

Enough already Steve or you're going to have to come down to Melbourne to wipe up the drool created by Andrew and me.

Oh N2223, Andrew definitely knows what turns up mate, trust me. His stuff makes my eyes go green as well.
