I took delivery of a vintage Walther LP53 air pistol today.
It was delivered by Parcel Force.
It was also delivered cocked with a pellet in the breech

Fortunately, the seller texted me to say he may have left a pellet in.
I asked if it was cocked too. He apologised saying he didn't know!

Forewarned, I opened the parcel with extra caution and safely discharged the pistol.

Potential for a serious accident there. Quel nob.

I bet quite a few people who receive guns in the post "discharge" themselves immediately.

“discharge” themselves immediately.

I was cleaning it and it went off in hand.

FWIW this is a fascinating channel if you're interested in the history of firearms:
