I’m the original owner if this fine air rifle I special ordered with walnut stock with cheek rest for right hand shooter. Along with custom super tune with nickel plated piston. The rifle is in very fine condition, with just a few untouched marks on the stock, with no scratches or lines. There’s just a slight bit of tarnish of the bluing on the barrel, but nothing so that would warrant re-bluing of the original patinas. I’ve decided to sell and would love to know what it’s worth. Very pleasant shooter, fast and accurate, with ability to hit aspirin pills at 25’ repeatedly. Thanks for your time.

That's a real nice gun, but that's not a walnut stock. It's stained beech, same as all of them.
Just for sake of clarity.
Don't know what they go for these days, but if you are wanting top dollar try eBay or Gunbroker. An auction type sale will let the market tell you what it's worth.

I have one, almost brand new, with Williams peep in place. If I were to sell it (I REALLY like the gun), I'd think it brings more than an R1 or R7? Maybe in the $400 to $700 range, on e-bay or perhaps a bit less on Gun Broker? It's a really nice and hard-to-find airgun, the best compromise between R1 and R7? Maybe you should just keep it? I would try to avoid mentioning "patina"? Tarnish AKA worn blueing on the barrel implies it's been used a lot? Good luck whatever...

That means the rifle is not perfect 100%. But is 40 years old with thousands of pellets run through, lots of care and proper oiling. That has natural imperfections and very minor environmental marks. That has never been restored!
