The gun shoots straight and hits hard when you pump it a couple of times. It shoots fine as it is. It has a nice patina too.
I do not think it would be worth more than $70 to me.

The last blue book I have would value it somewhere aroumd half that. It has the valuable thumb safety and the Williams peep sight but the 'patina' kills it. Metal wouldn't be too hard to restore but the wood would take a LOT of work.
I don't have a 'streak' but should dig out a pic of my model A.

It has the long chip in the right side of the fore end/ pump handle shown in the photo. I had thought about refurbishing the wood but wondered if it was not more desirable untouched instead. I have no delusions about its condition. I put $70 as an opening price that I thought was reasonable. If someone seriously wants it, I will negotiate.
I still have my very first gun and it is a Crosman 760. It is now about 44 years old. I remember going with my father down to Broadway St in Fells Point to get new o rings for it. I think that happened twice. It would be funny to see a gun store on Broadway these days. Anyone else remember that place?
Anyway, last year I used it a few times and find that it needs seals again. I am thinking of just ordering them on-line and doing it myself. That gun is quality. I purchased a new one for my daughter 2-3 years ago and it is complete junk. If you are still looking for one of these, get an old one. If not, I would go with the Diana. I haven't seen the Stoeger's mentioned yet, but the higher end of those are pretty nice. I bought a mid grade for him and it is decent but not powerful enough. Look at the ones they have over $150 and you may find one you like.

IMO, I would also forego the bb/pellet air rifles. Once you put so many BBs down the barrel, it totally defeats the purpose of a rifled barrel. Stick with the pellet guns. Then you'll be able to say "I drilled that little B_____D"
And as I put in an earlier post, I will soon have quite a few for sale as I am downsizing the airsenal. Most, if not all, have only a couple dozen shots through them.
