Hello everyone. Haven't been on for several months. In my father's collection, I ran across a Daisy Model 21 double barrel BB gun. I was just wanting to know if anyone has ever seen one of these before. It is a little strange to me.

Fairly scarce item. They are worth a decent ammount of cash if in good condition. Has appeal to BB-gun collectors as well as some double gun guys. There are usually some for sale on the internet - so do a little research and evaluate where yours falls in the price category. Good luck.

Made from 1968-1972. If yours happens to say "Sears" on it they are worth in upwards of $1500+

Thanks Ironman. When my father passed I inherited all but one of his guns. Of his guns, there was a Heavy Duck Gun, a JP Sauer, but I just started looking through his bb and pellet guns. I had never seen a double barrel BB gun before.... it is pretty cool. Thanks again.

Last year a friend passed away but before he went he asked me to help his widow sell his guns. There were a bunch of air rifles sitting around in the basement so I listed them on GB for $10 each. Imagine our surprise when a Daisy BB gun got bid up to well over $500! Turns out it was a rare variation and in good condition. Something about the tang screw being flat headed instead or round headed.

Pricey little gun.

Kinda crazy - you could own a very nice SxS that shoots lots of BB's for the same money.

The down side to a real shotgun is that rather than putting an eye, or two, out, you'd put an entire head off.

A friend of mine had one from her childhood. (she is now in her seventies) was there not a version made prior to 68?

Tyler, Yes there was. Not a model 21 - but another SxS version called the Model 104. About 40,000 made from 1938-1940. Worth even more than the model 21. Dummy sidelocks, walnut stock,Roll stamped with gamebirds, dogs and scrolls. (Just like Pappy's Parker!)

Thanks everyone. I also still have my dad's JP Sauer and his Heavy Duck gun. It just amazes me that he would keep his air rifles and this SXS in with his 30-06 and .243. He was a character.
