Bell targets (x2)

Bell targets (x2) 

With thanks to John M.

John says: The first is a 1950s bell target with a traditional spring loaded cocking mechanism. Hitting the centre releases the spring loaded mechanism and rings the bell. The target is also wired up to an electronic buzzer that would go off when a bullseye was scored... The target is unbranded and probably made by an engineer from the Working Men's Club I was told it saw decades of use at when I bought it. The target, light and buzzer are contained in a huge wooden box. £145

The second is a German Roland-branded target in the shape of a shield. Hit the centre and a plunger rings the bell, which looks like a bucket!

The pellets from low powered airguns are intended to adhere to the target surface for scoring. Some of these targets had numbers on the scoring rings, which would imprint upon the flattened lead pellet for scoring but mine is plain. It's all complete with a period piece of rope for hanging on the range or gunroom wall.
