Nice, for that price why not!. Looks to have been many brands that made Gem type air rifles, including Diana. 
Once you clean it up some makers marks may appear.

bit of a shame some one used center punch to stake barrel in,making parts shouldnt be problem as long as the origional broken or worn parts still there for patterns,will be quite simple mechanically would think,

Thanks for that, he came back to me this afternoon with a price tag of $100 so Im stupid not to take it.

Done a little investigation as to the make/model but cannot find anything that resembles this design yet. The only numbers or markings that I could find is the serial numbers in the breech (0326)

could be a Gem. 
The issue of restoring could be availability of parts - anything missing or damaged would most likely have to be machined. 
But see what he wants for it, it may be worth tidying up as much as possible to see if it has potential to go, and if not it would be a cool wall hanger.

Thanks Mike, I haven't brought it yet. I brought some old tools of a old guy and got talking before he dug this out. Barrel looks like it could be rusted out and the cocking system isn't working. May be just a display rifle but will see what I can do to restore it.

Good morning all,

I have recently been offered this old air rifle that is in quite a bad state.

does anyone recognize this as to what make and model this is, and also what approximate age this rifle is?
