    Wentzlau, ehrenbreitstein a rare 40-bore pneumatic air-rifle

    Another very interesting item coming up at Holts London Auction in June.

    That one failed to sell in the last auction, Brian, so they've reduced the estimate, I think.

    Talking of auctions, I was looking for something and came across this thread from 2007 - I think you can see a significant increase in hammer prices in the 8 years since then, even taking into account inflation.

    Hi Danny,

    Thanks for posting the 2007 realised price list, which as you say demonstrates that prices continue to rise for the right items. What has amazed me at some recent local auctions are items in what appear to almost relic condition still selling for very high prices whereas others in much better condition fail to reach reasonable reserves.

    As an aside, I have made a baize lined case for my Tell 3 and am now on the lookout for some early German pellet packaging to go with it.


    Regards

    Brian
