Vintage West Lake Air Rifle
This lot is a vintage West Lake air rifle, offered in the condition described below and presented as a project for restoration. The rifle has a long, slender barrel extending from a metal breech section towards the muzzle, and a trigger guard sits beneath the action. The stock is finished in a brown tone with a shaped grip and butt, and the overall form is typical of air rifles of its period. Collectors of vintage airguns and those interested in restoration work may wish to examine the lot in person.
Condition and Restoration Potential
The rifle shows clear signs of age and use. The brown finish on the stock has worn and flaked in places, and there is visible surface rust along the barrel and around the metal fittings of the breech. The lot is offered for restoration only and should not be assumed to be in working order. Its originality and patina may appeal to collectors seeking an unrestored example of an older West Lake air rifle, or to restorers looking for a project with clear potential for careful renovation.
