I'm not a proper collection, but I love the pre-war underlevers - I have a couple of lights, and they are great. A full size one seems to be on the cards... I'm not really a stickler for condition, but don't want a compelte dog either, as I just like to shoot them.
I can see how much they would generally go for on the BBS, but would a fair (such as Kempton - I'm defo going to the next one as I had to miss the last) offer similar deals ? I just naturally assumed after going to various Bisley Arms fairs that everything would be about twice the price I consider sensible...
You will find traders and private collectors at the Fair, both with varying condition Beeezers, I would expect to pay £150 for a rough complete .22 Standard and upto £400 for a top etched example.
