No Beeman stamps whatever. However, it was not stamped by ARH or any other dealer. It now has a recent tune with a custom spring guide and a more powerful spring. And, it is smooth, better than new.Thanks for the reply:
The reason for asking is that according to https://www.beemans.net/beeman_predecessors.htm
Robert Beeman claimed to have "exclusive distribution contracts with most of the overseas airgun makers", and that Beemans "made a special deal with Bob Law to sell him whatever he wanted, at our landed volume costs (lower than what his prices for small direct orders would have been), for as long as he wished to continue to deal with customers."
This made me wonder if Bob Law was actually forced to buy airguns from BPA and that ARH was therefore selling Beeman-stamped FWB 124 series by 1979.
