Just checked my 24th edition ( a couple of years old ) of the Blue Book of Gun Values, and could find no mention of Birmingham Arms. I checked in the store brand cross-over list, and found nothing there, either. The .22 Hornet has been around since 1930, so the rifle had to be produced sometime from 1930 up. Kind of takes it out of the Antique listings, as I see it. Seems to me I've heard of them somewhere before, though. I have definitely heard of Fecker scopes. I don't have any references to look them up on,perhaps a computer search would help, if you haven't tried it already. Good luck, and let me know, if you would, what you find. I'm curious too.
