Holt & Co Auction

[coburn]

Did anybody go to the viewing of the closed bid items or even bid on anything in their sale last month. I looked at a Webley MK3, a .22 late A prefix number model, 8.5 out of 10. I bid on a LP2 instead, didn't get it. The Webley made £53 plus comission I could have cried.

I was asked to go and look at something for someone else in the week before the deadline. I checked it out and was told that the viewing of closed bid items in London ends before the live bid auction, so it was too late.

Thanks Garvin for putting the winning bid prices on. Those three MK3's that made £160 were all in very poor condition, I was amazed at what they made. I think guide price was £15 to £20.

7069 A WEBLEY SENIOR .22 AIR PISTOL, Serial No 1072, 410 Sold

So what was so special about this one...£410????

And that's £160 plus 20% commission plus postage!

[averageplinker]

I popped along (and even put in a couple of bids which were not successful)
However it was still a pleasure to have a look at so many old rifles in one place and dream I have all the money and space in the world. May go in September when they have the next one!

Thanks Garvin
For the list of sales at the Holts auction I did notice there were no Webley Mk.1 Air Rifles in the list or Falkes

That's something I would like to know as well.

[coburn]

There was a boxed pre war slant grip Senior there in very good condition, may have been that. But £410 is far too much for any Senior. On the subject of the three Webley MK3's, one of them did have a chequered stock with a capped pistol grip. Factory original perhaps???

7052 A .177 BSA CLUB SPECIAL MODEL, 0 Unsold

What on earth was wrong with this?

[redair]

That's something I would like to know as well.

photo etched patents Senior with adjustable trigger pull.
I've seen one a long time ago which I think was Sharpy's.

[Arch.Stanton?]

A Stutzen for less than 200 quid - oh bummer - knew I should have gone !

Richard.

That would explain it Richard, a rare beast indeed.

[Troubledshooter]

I have just spoken to someone who was a buyer at the auction, ( Keith, for Richard's benefit), and the Webley Senior in question was a post war model in good condition, so why it fetched such silly money is anyone's guess.
