C.G.Bonehill Air Rifle

dadhero
Hi there.
I inherited a C.G.Bonehill air rifle which belonged to my great grand father.
It is a typical break-neck air rifle but has a latch to lock it closed before firing.
The spring and `plunger' is situated under the rear stock.
The trigger is amazingly crisp and is single stage, a far cry from the horrible triggers new air rifles are fitted with today.
It has an adjustable v-notch rear sight and a bead as a front sight.
It still fires beautifully and is still fairly accurate.
The markings on the left hand side of the breach are as follows, `The Regd Trade Mark of Britannia'
There are two numbers one on the breach (which is repeated) `2491' and the second number is on the Left Hand Side of the trigger guard, R2394207.
The following inscription, `COX Patents C.G. BONEHILL SOLE MANUFACTURER' is on top of the breach.
I was wondering if there is a value attached to the rifle?

    Hello, according to the Bluebook of Air guns, you have either a Brittania Anglo Sure-shot Mk 1 worth $1000 @95%, or an Improved Brittania worth $1800 @95%, both made in Germany ca 1908 or 1909. Hope this helps.

    Excellent, thank you for the info. Not that it would be sold of course, as it belonged to my great grand father who used it during the second Boer War to shoot small game for the pot.
