Hello I am looking to sell my three 22s as I have not had time to use them since I bought them a few years back. I'd like to put these in the hands of someone who can use them like they are meant to be. I am wondering what the fair market value of these are and if any one may know some info about these i.e model 6 or 12 for the BSA Cadet or what is meant on the disk stamping etc that would be very very appreciated!

BSA Martini Cadet 22 (model 6 or 12 is my guess)

Thanks a ton CGN community!
 
The "CC" is for Cadet Corps. The number would be the "regiment" number. I can't read the number clearly but if you do a search for "cadet corps" and that number you will likely find a page with some history of the Cadet Corps regiments, where they were located and how long that particular regiment lasted. Or in fact if they are still in operation.

Your first rifle seems like it's in good condition with no obvious dings but with just general handling wear consistent with an older rifle. You might need to be patient to find the right buyer if you list it at $600 to $550. For a faster sale be prepared to drop a little.

The second BSA is clearly a deluxe version but the pictures seem to show that it has a little more handling wear and perhaps even signs of previous flash rust. If that is not a trick of the lighting and in fact the bluing is clean and consistent then I'd say start at $650 and see if you get any nibbles. The gun is worth that and possibly more. But a premium price means you need to be more patient. On the other hand if the bluing is worn and patchy as the pictures make it look then figure on $600 to $550 again.

The Greener is another thing. I think you've got something more collectable there. I would not want to guess at any value as it's the first one I've seen or even heard about. But I've run across a dozen or so BSA's in my travels and what I quoted is not far off what the ones go for that I've seen.

Your ex-cadet rifle is definitely a Model 6 (it has the narrow, one-inch receiver). It will command a premium over the more common Model 12 ex-cadet rifles. I think a starting price of $750 would be more in keeping with today's market.
If you are in no hurry to sell, the custom BSA and Greener are both valuable collector pieces and I would ask closer to $1000 for each to start. Ask the guys in the Martini forum on Rimfire Central for their input. Some very good info to be had there.
 
Oh great info and thank you for the lead to check out rimfire central!

I think it said 1594 on the disk (not with the rifle now) and that appears to be the The Xavier Cadent Corps out of Edmonton, AB Formed December 2, 1938, Disbanded July 7, 1944
 
For anyone wondering on some market values on these guns I shall provide the prices I sold these for to help people in the future. These went to some nice loving homes.

The BSA cadet model 6 sold for ~$950
