Gentlemen,
Some years back I purchased a Sheridan "Tournament Special" from a private party and it appears to be basically a chrome-plated Piranha LB. Sent it to Palmers for a bottom-line UMB, delrin pump, etc. Almost immediately thought--"Wait a minute--what have I done?"

The etching is far too faint and shallow to show in these digipics, but part of the mystery may be solved--I found the words "Airgun Designs" etched comparatively clearly on the left upper tube in slanting allcaps, just forward of the feed nipple.
I haven't heard of these since. Was it just a publicity piece? Was it done for AGD for an outside shop? It sure looked legit--standard Speed Demon bolt, blue/black anno on the pump handle, laser markings on the chrome plating and everything.
Anybody remember these or is still familiar with with these? Inquiring geezers want to know!
