The XXV Churchill style sidelock made about £410 I think. There was a tidy looking AYA boxlock too but would need to check my notes to see if I made a note of what that made. Some of the Victorian taxidermy made strong money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 9 hours ago, Miserableolgit said: No, I bid on one or two but stick to my pre set limits otherwise it’s all to easy to keep going. As it turns out there were only one or two bids after I dropped out. You are not alone when you drop out of the bidding and then it goes on the very next bid , but as you say it is no good if you set yourself a limit and then ignore it and just keep bidding , mind you I have often ignored my better judgement and came away with spending more money than I intended , don't we all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgan Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 There was lovely .22 Bsa Improved Model, a late one with the side lever. On first look at the photos it looked reblued, but after some scrutiny I think it was original. I would have bought that but the no posting would have meant a 500 mile round trip and my pickup isnt the best on juice. Which was a shame. Auction prices have dropped a lot for the more everyday items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
