The reason I have parted with it is for me now it is too heavy to handle it is a true punt gun because it does not have a trigger guard not like some which are more bank guns or large shoulder guns that sell for four figure sums but at the end it is worth what it makes Feltwad The trouble is, they're more wall hangers with a limited audience than practical pieces these days. Its a shame but that area of our sport is dissapearing. Is it the only punt gun you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been several inquiry's to its use but this type of original are now more of a collectors piece because they are now so rare for which I was reluctant to sell when they have gone they will be no more Feltwad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushandpull Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Just caught up with this. It seems a reasonable price for a collector's piece. I have sold two anonymous pre-war BL guns for similar money in recent years. A maker's name can make a lot of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
