Caution about gun in this week's auction!

[Garvin]

I'm told that Lot 1033 - "An Argles Patent twist barrel air gun, with fruit wood stock and scrolling steel trigger guard" is probably not an airgun at all, so beware! Apparently it's most likely a small garden shotgun and needs a certificate.

l think you are right Danny it is a garden gun, there was one for sale at the Brum arms fair at the weekend, but l was told it's off ticket as it's in 7mm.

Thanks Mick. Is 7mm an obsolete calibre?

Hi Danny,


7mm rimfire is currently an obsolete calibre and therefore off ticket, but I am aware that obsolete calibres, de-acts and the definition of an antique are currently under review.

Thanks for that, Brian. Bidders take note.

Hi Brian, l was told on Sunday by a dealer that they wanted to treat de-acts like they do with post war airguns, and to get the name and address of the buyer, but l think that is for dealers only.

Regards,
Mick.

All the above duly noted - however.... Lot 1083...
I'm still drooling slightly from the 'boxed' pair (though mis-matched as not consecutive serial numbers) of Pope pistols:

presumably that is at least one 'shoulder stock' included as well?

Any idea what they might fetch?
