Marksman .177 Calibre Air Gun Pellets
Marksman .177 Calibre Air Gun Pellets
Made, first as British Marksman and then just Marksman
From the 50s, these Marksmen pellets had gained great notoriety and sales increased all around the world, specifically Canada, Australia and South Africa
So much so that by 1970 a total of 25 million pellets a week was needed to keep up with demand! I did my bit each week
The Marksman Red, White and Blue boxes became iconic in 100, 200 and 500 pellet counts, with tins holding 500 in the round nose design in .177, .22 and .25 calibres. In 1983, a new Pointed design was added to the range as a .22 pellet and then in 1987 in .177 calibre.
Today, Marksman air gun pellets are still made at Summer Road, Birmingham in the Lincoln Jeffries factory and supplies the UK and the rest of world, that’s some history
