    Wow. Interesting that they don't have any estimates.

    The ISP especially looks great

    Estimates seem low judging by the Eli Whitney revolver.

    Remind me to remortgage and get a bid on the Spartan.

    I believe the hammer went down at £2300, someone with very very deep pockets wanted this, with the added fees of 22.5% plus 17.5% vat on top most probs ended up paying £3300 plus for a rifle I believe would have been about £2000 new in 2000. At the end of the day a beautiful, bespoke hand made rifle, if I had throw away money I would bid till I got it, but I havn't and I was out at £700 lol, I hope the new owner enjoys his new purchase, cheers Roll

    it was sold to a phone bidder for 2300 so it was 17.5% buyers premium and vat on the premium. it was 22.5% if you bid on a computer via the salesroom (big hike)
