PRODUCIT LTD, BIRMINGHAM
A RARE .177 CONCENTRIC BARREL-COCKING AIR-PISTOL, MODEL 'THUNDERBOLT JUNIOR', no visible serial number,
circa 1947, with 6 1/4in. barrel inside the blued stepped air-chamber, bead fore-sight, standing notch rear-sight, the standing breech stamped 'PROV. PAT. 13749', guarded trigger forming the cocking link, hinged back-strap forming a leverage aid, slab-sided brown bakelite grips with a central lightning bolt device bisecting the hole for the grip-screw with 'THUNDERBOLT JUNIOR' on a raised panel above and 'MADE IN ENGLAND' below, the whole retaining much original finish
Other Notes: Seldom found today, this concentric piston air-pistol is built along similar principles to the Tell II and Acvoke pistols (q.v) but fits midway between the two in size. It is believed around 8000 were produced between 1947-49 although its rarity today might suggest otherwise, and was also marketed as the 'Big Chief' air-pistol
