does this gun have any collectors value or only worth handing in for destruction??

They were £50 to £60 for years then the price started to rise. Of the top of my head I'd guess a nice 3 band Sepoy has to be good for at least £300 to £400, maybe more. Repro's are practically unsaleable unless you can find a newbie with an empty gunsafe.

OTOH a recession is the time for buying not selling, people fall on hard times and there are bargains to be had. I have already severely rogered one American chum and I prowl the web at night time looking for more victims
