As part of a deal for a pistol that I wanted I wound up also taking a rather rusty (not too deep) underlever rifle, pictures here;

It has engraved on the body in script 'Relum' and 'Tornado', elsewhere 'Made in Hungary' and 'LP11' plus a serial number.

As a pistol collector I have no idea if I have been landed with a dud or if it is remotely wanted (as a project) so I am asking firstly if it is worth anything (if so how much) and if offered for sale would it be remotely interesting to anyone????????????????????

(I am aware of the Relum/Muller thing as a UK company importing them under their name but have no idea of the manufacturer or year so any info would be useful.)

You have a Relum Tornado! Love 'em or hate 'em, they're useful for banging fence posts in.
Plenty restore them tho

Early Relum Tornado, in that condition probably worth no more than £40, probably worth more as a breaker. Should you decide to refurbish it, spares can be obtained from Protek Supplies http://www.proteksupplies.co.uk/

Not sure that spares are required, maybe the main washer and spring, the rest seems all there. Not for me though, I have enough pistols to play with without diversifying. One thing, £40 as is but more if broken up - sorry but that does not make sense. All the broken bits are there in one piece so surely the value remains the same?

Hi. I bought a v-vgc example of one of these for the collection only last month, and paid £70 for it inc. Special Delivery (£21.80), so the one you have, as above, should therefore have a value of about £30 plus post . Hope this helps. Atb: G.
