Coney Basher Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 That seems an extremely good price when you consider that a Rigby sidelock, very similar to yours, went for £3600 hammer (£4400 with commission etc) at Holts last week. Has it been sleeved? Is there any pitting? C-B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBS Posted December 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hi C-B, No, Original barrels in original proof and no pitting at all. I didn't get to Holts last week but from the pictures the chequering looked pretty worn in the one they had for sale. Its part of my "rolling" collection and if I sell it for £3k I won't be out of pocket and someone else can enjoy it at a (relativley) affordable price. gb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
