The Greener looks nice; much better condition than mine but I don't think I will be tempted!
Hello,
A couple of interesting lots coming up at Holts March sale.

There is also an Accles & Shelvoke Warrior in the much rarer .22 calibre among the other items, but unfortunately the description doesn't sound too promising.
Regards
Brian

Thanks for that, Brian. £5,000 - £7,000 for that Wentzlau. Bit like these ones.
