Woodbepigeonshooter Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 I have been given the following .410 carts from a mate and before I use them just thought I would ask if they were valuable/ collectible and an idea of price and age as they look old. Eley 50mm 6s full box Eley Extra Long 3 inch smokeless 5s x 11 Eley 2 inch 5s x 13in box Eley 2 inch 9’s or showing as ix on top so assuming x3 TopMark x3 27mm made be home made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Top Mark are a new one on me. I have just given away about 50 2 inch to a friend who uses them for sorting rabbits etc in his rear garden. Fortunately he lives in farm cottages so no complaints. They still do the job out of the kitchen window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enfieldspares Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Kynoch once made a special monkey load (actually for use against baboons) loaded at Witton for export. This is true, not a joke or jest, the cartridge containing three round balls. The bad news is that if they are they are actually now as the law reads classed as s1.

Woodbepigeonshooter Posted January 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Any idea of age, rarity prices of boxes or carts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-6 Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 I once bought long time .410 3 inch BB size shot, from a game fair. Apparently they were an order for South Africa by Eley and surplus stock and being sold off. Gave them to a gamekeeper. Bet they would be a collection item now, never seen any other than those. Sold my o/u .410 to a youngster starting off, regretted it many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
