Dan_Jones 7 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 so is it worth more then the £100 ? Quote Link to post
foxon 0 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 so is it worth more then the £100 ? Dan I have to be honest with you if in good condition with the original buddy bottle & pump upwards of £500, most of these live in the USA, was an agent for this & the Firebird back in the 90s they did not take on so only few survive, when I did not get a reply I thought I heard the penny drop, Spitfire has the large silencer. Good luck with her. foxon. Quote Link to post

foxon 0 Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 hahaha good try foxon i like it .. thanks for the honesty though ... going round my mates now to shove the 100 notes in his face yeah its in tip top condition has a few scratches on the underside of the silencer but you cant see them and wil easily rub off or paint over.Thanks guys ill put some pics on tonight when i get back from its test shoot Hi Dan, do not put paint on whatever you do, just leave as is, if the Spitfire is original keep it that way, let a collector or buyer have the work done, but enjoy her while you can, a good place to advertise is Gunmart, an overseas buyer will notice for sure or a UK buyer.

Dan_Jones 7 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 no im not going to just saying thats how they can be covered only minor ... do you know anything about filling ? just seems a little 'dodgey' with that buddy bottle .. ? Quote Link to post
