Daisy double barreled BB gun....mfg 1940. The gun is sold, unfortunately, but the asking price was $1100. OUCH !

John

Welcome to NE.com.

Is that the ideal double for ratting on roof tops in Cairo?

PS Good way to get a young lad (or girl) started the right way, I think!

Nitro,

Thanks!

You know, we have these native weasels that run around the streets here at night and are very reclusive. I have seriously thought about putting some bait (read: stinky garbage) in the alley behind my building and taking the shot from my balcony.

Best,

Folks, this was my first double rifle. It cost my dad $6US in 1941. Wish I still had that little double today, it would be a great addition to my collection. As stated above, they range in the $1000US for one in ragged condition, and one in decent condition, runs in the area of $1500US.

They can be found by visiting the Daisy collectors web-site, or doing a search for "DAISEY"! Take your check book, if you intend buying one!

Reminds me of the Winchester 21. They are butt ugly, too.

John,

I thought the alleys in Cairo were filled with stinky garbage already, as in all other north african cities! There can hardly be a need to put out even more!

BTW, the gun does look like just the thing for introducing my baby daughter to shooting next year!

Erik,

For sure, Cairo has no shortage of trash! What I was thinking, however, was a bunch of particularly aromatic rotting fruit in combination with perhaps a stew bone from the local butchery wired to the base of a chain link fence separating my alley from the neighboring parking lot. The rotting fruit stench would carry for blocks obviously, and the wiring of the bone would prevent the local cats from making off with the bait.

Best,

JohnTheGreek
