This may be a deal if someone is looking for a left handed double.Ran across this while looking at their upcoming auction.

Did you see their estimate?! 1000-1500 pounds

I wonder what they're basing that on?

I'll be curious to see what it goes for. Being left handed will of course reduce the market, or perhaps be slightly discounted if a righty takes into account restocking costs. It looks like a proper/solid rifle.

I wager they dropped a zero on those estimates.

it will proberly go for around 3-5 K £, it looks like the price is put there as a sleeper to bring people in, but please remember that we dont pay the same prices at the auctions in london as you guy's do over there, good boxlocks from english makers usually run about 4-6 K £ depending on the condition.

just remember, at auctions it is buyer beware. i have done some great deals there, but also have some overpriced dogs in the safe because of this.

i will take that wager at once

, 10-15 K £ would be brithis sidelock prices, and that would be in good condition as well
