    BSA Centenary 1 of 1000

    There's a guy on Gun* selling not one of these but three! Now there's a example of a collector who got carried away.

    I know how it happens, though. You buy one, then another better one, then a boxed one with all the bits and suddenly you have two that you don't want or need any more - and if you can afford not to get your money back immediately, they stay in the cabinet taking up space for years...

    The chap I bought mine off owned 3 of them, sold one of them, a mint boxed .177 to a bloke who travelled down from Scotland, for £1,500. The other 'mint' one was out of my price range, (what I was prepared to pay) the 'shooter' I bought was in very good nick but didn't come with the 'cheap bits' or box although it did have the certificate and gun bag.

    He also had a few Stuzens.

    He was clearly a collector, he decided to just offload them - don't know why - not my place to ask!
