enfieldspares Posted Monday at 12:59 Report Share Posted Monday at 12:59 (edited) The gun was a Breda so the same folks that armed Mussolini with machine guns and the like in WWII. It came from a Yorkshire auction house this year so was one of lots that kept getting re-entered. Here it is in 2022. It is presently with my gunsmith having the stock extended, the pistol grip converted to a straight hand grip style and the left barrel choke opened up. I see it as a a better choice for steel shot that an old English hammer gun. https://www.ryedaleauctioneers.com/catalogue/lot/f64e8b96f06dcd53e754ebb577a10b59/02d8863b5de7d5d97f6ef64910788336/sporting-guns-accessories-lot-327/ Here's one in Australia that is a better quality picture. Mine looked the same. Except shorter barrels. https://www.findlotsonline.com/auction-lot-details/12290/ Edited Monday at 13:01 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feltwad Posted Monday at 13:12 Report Share Posted Monday at 13:12 I would say for both sales that prices were higher for the December sale than early sales more so the antique items Feltwad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
