Found a superb Beeman RX1 20 year Commemorative and it arrived today, it will go nicely along side my Beeman R1 20 year Commemorative. Both are complete with matching soft cases. The commemorative models were only available in 1992, only came in .20 cal. and all were all two toned, blue and silver. Now to try to find a Beeman P1 version :/

RX1- 1 of 25 produced

R1- 1 of 50

Nice find.  I had an opportunity to buy both the R-1 and RX as a set around 2013.  Already have the R-1, so I passed.  Kick myself for not picking up the RX.  I remember it was $400.

I hope you guys that are serious collectors have some plans in place to preserve your collections in the chance that you pass away before being able to pass on your collections.  I hate it when I hear of airgun collections being sold as part of a local home estate sale or auction.  Collectable airguns become some 10 year olds bb guns or someone's barn gun.

If I die

I hope my wife

Doesn't sell my guns

For what SHE thinks I paid for them

I already have a plan.  The wife told me if I die first she is selling all my guns.  That means if I have a slow, drawn out death I will:

1.  Use the wood stocks for firewood.

2.  Sell the remainder as scrap metal.

3.  Bury them with me.

For insurance rider, I listed values to my collection. Liquidation of the collection would have certification papers. The guns would go on to another collector/buyer.

Yeah, that kinda went south LOL

Speaking of south, I held one of those last Thursday in Minor Hill, TN. Tried to get the feller to sell it to me but his honor would have no part of it....said it was spoken for. Is that the same one? Congrats Mike!

Very nice collection you have. I don't torture myself expeculating about things when I'm gone. Happy shooting and proud of ownership while still alive. ?
