That's an incredible price. I was watching this auction myself as I was interested to see how much a Tell 3 might fetch in its country of origin and I certainly never expected that. Perhaps more of these pistols were exported than were sold on the home market, so now making them particularly rare and desirable to German collectors? Anyway, I know what to do now if I ever decide to sell mine!
-
I wouldn't have been surprised if a boxed Tell 3 in this condition made £1000 in this country, but I would never have believed it would sell for the price it eventually did albeit in It's home country.

The post-war version might fetch even more!
The Tell 3 wasn't sold in this neck of the woods.

This is only the 2nd boxed one that l know of, the pistol itself is quite rare l have se/nos from 4 up to 871

[QUOTE l have se/nos from 4 up to 871[/QUOTE]
What all of them !
Only kidding. It might be interesting to record what Ser Nos are owned by BBS members. I will dig mine out to add to the list. I bet there won't be all that many.
Just checked the Ser No stamped on my Tell 3 which is 49.
It's not in best condition cosmetically, but is complete and seems to shoot as well as it probably ever did.
Regards
Brian
