There is fully comprehensive information on this page:
The Approved Ways Of Posting Uk Legal Airgun.
Posting rules for the UK for low powered firearms. That's our UK legal airguns to those that don't know. You can only use Royal Mail 1st class, Royal...
Also, a good idea to read the further comments if you are interested as they also contain some tips. But I can assure you, if I am sending, it will be done correctly!
I'll get some photos later. As I've said, maybe some superficial marks but it is a good rifle and has done me well.

Take a picture of the serial number or type it, and can the tell you which Mk it is and what size compression tube, early models have a 25mm tube.

The photo with the HW77 mark didn't make it but I hope the rest fairly represent condition. No deep scratches and no doubt the rifle could be cleaned up, re-varnished, and metal work re-blued if that was important to you.

Got a very similar gun but .22 in dads cabinet. Used to use it all the time as kids. Dead-on accurate to 20 yards, I could shoot mice out of my bedroom window with it.
its a mk1 so will have a 25mm tube
any idea on a price you would want for it without the scope including postage , cant find many mk1 to get a comparison price

It is really up to you to make an offer. Bear in mind that I don't have to feed it or paint it...and, by the sound of it, it is appreciating in value.
have rechecked the serial number again list i checked had hw97 mixed in but number puts it at around 1984 so a mk 1 25mm if it had been a .177 then rarer than unicorn crap. wouldnt be selling this on so would be a project for myself to restore it then use in competition. theres no real way to check prices or value as most people are hanging on to them , one is listed at the moment a 1988 in very good condition for £210. without the scope i would offer around £150 but open to haggling
Yes its a 1984, has the ball bearing release on the underlever.
Agree if it was .177 it would be worth more, looks like its seen some action!

It's a tool that gets used, though not so much these days.

So got a German ppi much more effective and quiet.
