I found this while cleaning up my grandfathers estate.
Still in original box with pellets and 2 full boxes of CO2 cartridges
Is there any value in these for collectors or do I have a new plinking pistol?
Not sure what year it is but original price was $59.97
No velocity marked on the box so I'd appreciate it if anyone could provide that information.

Nice find and I didn't realize how much they actually sold for originally thanks.
You have a later variant model and I've seen them go anywhere between 50 and $100 in working condition.
You may be able to get $150 for yours but it's hard to say as the earlier variants are more desirable.
Does it look like it's been used at all? I don't suggest you use the powerlet's that came with the pistol because they're just as collectible is the box itself. Get a tube of pelgun oil and put a couple drops on the neck of the CO2 cylinder and see if it works. You may have a really nice plinker or a collectible to sell its your choice.
 
I have sold a couple in much worse condition with no bow or extras for 50-100$ 150$ is definitely not out of the question if the seals arnt dried out. Alot more info for you on the canadian airgun forum
 
Mine was a .22 but otherwise identical. I forget the purchase price but I picked it up at Cdn Tire somewhere around 1975. It was a great plinker at short range.

I think that is a reasonable expectation for one with a decent box and paperwork intact.

I'd not bother with loading it up with a cylinder, unless you really feel the need to shoot it. Seals are available, and it's not too complicated to change them out, though there are a few delicate handling maneuvers to set the valve and CO2 line into place so that they sit correctly without leaking.

Nice catch! I have one in .22 that I dig out from time to time. And a 38C...and a 150...and a...well, they do sorta accumulate!:D

Cheers

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm grateful for the vast pool of knowledge always present in CGN.
I am interested in selling it. Once I can get to town to get some new cylinders I'll give it a test fire to make sure it functions, doesn't feel right to sell something I've never fired!
 
I had a 38T from the early '80s, sold it and got a Crossman 357 (what they called it in those days - looked like a python). Wish I kept the 38T ... had a lot of fun with it ...
 
I had a 8/10 38t with the original seals and it still held co2, functioned flawlessly... sold it for $100.
I could have got more for it, but the guy drove almost 4 hours to come to my house to get it.
Of course pictures of her...
