    Two Sellers that I can make out. One with 7 models inc 1 of only 2 known examples. Guess a Whiscombe expert could confirm that.

    All have BIN price around $5800 - $6300 - so at todays rate - £4650 - £5000.

    Be interesting to see if any actually get sold

    Two have bids, the rifle that is the poster child of the Whiscombe site is for sale. Prettiest stock I have ever seen.

    I just bought a Crosman 101 yesterday for $185 and I thought I was getting pretty crazy. Lol

    Hundreds of Beretta EELL's are sold for £4000?? every year. Top shotguns go for plenty of £££'s; so why not spend a few £££'s on a highly desirable and rare air rifle that has top metalwork and top wood? Probably more parts and similar work to any shotgun.

    The only problem is I don't have that kind of disposable income after my family and the taxman has wiped me out Lots of people do though. Plenty spend a lot more on their cars that is only scrap after 180,000 miles.

    Looks like a collector is rationalising what he has. Get them while you can. Buy a pair

    You need to sell a few rifles to raise the funds and then treat yourself, Mr Muskett I seem to remember a splendid Imperator or SLR in your collection that would feel at home in rural Farnham
    Never go off half cocked....

    All lies matter

    Ahh the days when I was flush. Still have the SLR, and the same car with now 140,000 miles on the clock
    A few more years of graft to go, me thinks
