Father passed 13 years ago at 97 and finally getting around to going through the final stuff.  Found two air rifles that I remember shooting as a kid.  One is a "Kessler-.22Cal.Pellet Rifle Buffalo NY".  I have disassembled and found that, what I believe is a leather washer/seal is broken.  I will try to attach a picture.  I am overwhelmed looking at the various sites for a seal rebuild kit. Any suggestions on where I can purchase one?

Second gun is a Sheridan "Blue Streak 5 m/m cal.  Serial # 105724.  I have not disassembled this one but believe the seals are also gone.  Same question as above.

Would like to get them cleaned up and working so I can pass them on to my sons and grandsons before I go to join my father.

Would appreciate any suggestions.

you need to go here 

(232) American Vintage Airguns - American Vintage Airguns (tapatalk.com)

the Kessler was derived from the Sheridan Super Grade  

Another Airgun Blog: Kessler

it looks like the Kessler could be a handful to rebuild under perfect conditions 

the Sheridan could be similar
