Kind of out of nowhere this dealer popped up on my search feed. Quite a few expensive doubles. I very rarely see Army and Navy sidekick double rifles for sale.

Holy hell...nice rifles!

Seems pretty overpriced to me, so I looked at his English double shotguns, jeez, even boxlock Midlands were priced at 10K!

Nice rifles but way over priced. They will be sitting in inventory for a long time.
Shotguns are 2x the value!

I am under the impression they are operated by some folks that were associated with H&H in New York

I thought that was the same David Cruz.

HOLY SMOKES....they can sell my rifles when the time comes!! HA!! Those are top of the Cabela's Double Bubble prices...that's HISTORY now...
Cheers,

The prices of fine European doubles in the US market are way off than prices found in Europe and in the auctions...

I can not belive that you guys buy doubles in this price range...

Not a single photo of proof marks....

This reminds me of the double rifle "expert" that remarked in his book that it was time to stop annealing the moment the cases started melting. He must have been using the sun as a heat source.

Asking is one thing. Getting is another.

They are living in the past..Lets see how long they last..Those $10,000 rifles they have will bring $8500. today..

Maybe their clients don't know double rifle prices, many do not..

Those guns would have been priced accordingly about 3 or 4 years ago, depending on your location.

Heck! A Webley 700 side-by-side for $8,900.00!

I underbid on the long stock Webley 702 in Holt's 21 June sale at UK £850 and stopped. The winner bid £900.00. A H & H self-opener sold for £19,500 the same day.

Run of the mill Webley Model 700 guns sell for the £500-700 mark at auction in the UK. Retail at £900-1,200.

If the buyers of these guns, from this outfitter ever need to sell they are sure going to lose a lot of money. The residual value of the guns it that list are way, way, way below what they will have bought them for.

A Belmont non-ejector for $10,000? Madness! In UK a non-ejector boxlock of that make won't ever make more than £500 even if exceptional. They are moribund. This may not be the gun in the outfitter's listing but at least it gives an idea of UK auction prices.

Remember if buying from a dealer the internet is your friend. Enter the gun make, calibre, and in many cases you'll see it's auction listing or that of a similar gun if not the actual gun. Enter the serial number as well and often you'll get the actual gun!

I believe that they may have come to the party a little too late. Those days are gone and possibly forever.

The boxlock Webley 10x up of what I could find them for here in Denmark.

I wonder if these are front businesses for money laundering??? Just does not make sense.
