Centrepin Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 A friend of my daughters has this for sale. Acvoke .177 Does anyone know anything about it and is it worth a punt for the grandkids to plink with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Does it have a cocking lever on the other side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogger Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 ACVOKE (ACCLES and SHELVOKE) .177 (4.5mm) AIR PISTOL. Acvoke (Accles and Shelvoke Ltd. Birmingham) .177 calibre air pistol. SERIOUSLY RARE and SERIOUSLY COLLECTABLE. Apparently these were produced from 1946 onward for a period of 10 years. Given a limited period of manufacture AND that is now around 65 to 75 years ago you can easily guess why these pistols are rarely available for sale. £499.99 hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, every day a school day. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 What dogger says x2. Very collectible. Do not undersell yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a real soft spot for old air pistols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted September 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yeah, I like pistols, had a few. Trouble is I get fed up quick with air pistols, think there's 2 in the garage now that need minor repairs, 1 on gas and 1 pneumatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yeah I know what you mean, I picked up a GAT gun before Christmas, not perfect condition but it works faultlessly, that's to say it's useless at anything beyond 5ft 😂 Hoping to eventually have a nice little collection of pop out pistols.
