Saw this on Gun Broker and about flipped! What a cool addition to an air rifle collection this would be!

Here's the link to the auction, but as of this post it has 5 hours to go and is all the way up to over $1000!!!

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIte...=149536616

From the auction description:

Manufactured in the late 1930's to early 1940's. It is arguably the most desireable of the collectable Daisy's. This gun is fully functional and 100% original. The stocks are solid, the safty works, it cocks and fires both barrels with a strong report. I did not fire a BB. The photos tell the tale on the metal finish. It retains 85% to 90% of it's finish. There is patina and some light pepper on the reciever. The reciever locking device is finiky sometimes. I struggled deciding to sell this Daisy. I have enjoyed owning it, now some lucky Daisy fan can too. With this one you can "shoot both your eyes out".

Here are some pictures from the auction:

I see it ended at over $1300! Wow!

There are two more on Gunbroker right now, one is even nicer than the one above (though not nearly as old):

OH good Lord I gotta have one of those!!! I'd never seen such a thing and it's freakin awesome!... I wonder why I haven't ever seen one of these beauties before?

I wanted the new pump action Daisy that we seen a Dicks yesterday, but I thought 50 bucks was a bit much for a BB gun. After seening these go for over a grand, I am now reconsidering.
Cool find Dude...

That is so F*ing cool. Makes a Red Rider look like a girlie pop gun. Wonder why Daisy quit making such a cool gun. Understandibly, a lot more parts involved, but with the costs of some of today's BB guns, I'm sure Daisy would of made a few(lot) bucks off it. That sucker has every COOL FACTOR to it as a genuine firearm. Thanks for sharing.

Well that really nice one ended at only $705. I figured it would do better because of it's condition, but $705 is still a fat haul for a FREAKIN BB GUN!
Maybe it had something to do with the timing of the ending, Xmas weekend is probably not the best time to end an auction.

Might have been lesser because it was a bit newer than the other one. Who knows...?

Seen this today at the gun show, it's just as awesome in person as in the pictures. I really wanted this thing, but not bad enough to give him 1100 bucks for it. It was cool to see it n real life tho...

Now that I think of it, the reason that the older one went for so much was because it was a short run (2 years production) with wood stock and forgrip and not plastic like this one.

Oh yeah, this guy was asking $225 for that Red Rider beside it, so yeah, his prices are a little optomistic.
