Old Boggy Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 For anyone interested, there is a 20 bore sideplated McNab Highlander in the Holts sealed bid auction lot No.5194 with an estimate of £250-£350 !! These were made by B.Rizzini (the best of the Rizzini clan) and normally sell in the region of £1000-£1500. I realise that the catalogue only states an estimate and 20% +VAT has to be added to the hammer price, but it could still be a bargain for someone at the right price. If I didn`t already have one, I`d be sorely tempted to bid. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 This one? https://auctions.holtsauctioneers.com/asp/fullCatalogue.asp?salelot=S0722+++5194+&refno=++176028&saletype= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 A friend has one in 28 bore. Even as a dedicated SxS man, I have to say it is beautiful to use and at 5lbs. 14ozs it handles just like an English 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s only one sideplated one for sale on Guntrader and that’s £1650, although that is at Chris Potter’s. 23 minutes ago, London Best said: A friend has one in 28 bore.

I’ve shot with SxSs all my life but I can honestly say that my 20 bore Highlander is an absolute joy to shoot. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that they list the realised prices a few days after the auction which was yesterday, so I`m also keen to know what it went for.

shootthepigeon Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 Cheers, it certainly wasn't me with the highest bid, oh well it did seem a very low estimate. 2 hours ago, Old Boggy said: I think that they list the realised prices a few days after the auction which was yesterday, so I`m also keen to know what it went for.

Old Boggy Posted July 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 I`ve just been informed by a PW member that the hammer price was £600, which made the total price including commission and VAT of £744.00 if I`ve done my sums correctly. Still a good price. Unfortunately the PW member was not successful. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
