Gameking Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 According to John Knibbs first book 'BSA and Lincoln Jeffries Air Rifles' , serial numbers 62030 -62529 were manufactured between Sept 1912 and Dec 1913 these rifles were dispatched between Sept 1912 and Nov 1914 . They were mostly Light Pattern with very few Standard patterns. Your BSA Standard, serial no 62185 BSA standard pattern falls in this range.
