This was my grandfather's very well cared for and maintained 1937 Buck Jones Special Daisy Air Rifle. Original compass and flawless sundial on the wood stock, beautiful engraving on the metal. I am just in love with this gun. I even have a picture of him as a child holding it! It will be treasured for many years to come. Just thought I'd share this with those who can respect our American-made antiques :)

Valene: your grandfather took good care of his BB gun.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Yes, thank you Lee, he was an incredible man. Just goes to show, if you take care of what you have, it will last you a long, long time. I've seen a few on the internet here and there, but not one was in such condition as this.
Excellent Condition! and I love the Compass, Sun Dial and the Engraved Art!
Plus it was Made in Michigan!
One of the best looking BB guns Daisy Mfg. made.
