    Diana tinplate worth £200 ?

    Sorting out stuff for the Kempton races, not decided on what to take. One contender is this 1930's pistol, bought at Gamages London for 11/6d. In box with cocking handle and pellets. It is the best condition one I have ever see, is it worth £200 now ?

    That looks lovely, ive one that my mum owned still works but dented and rough, used to fire those horrible darts out of it into a dartboard as a kid, terrible what we did as kids, gun abuse!
    good luck with your sales.

    Probably worth more like £300 with the box and cocking tool, Baz?

    In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

    Hi Baz, imho, yep it is, all day long -- and maybe even a healthy little bit more, say an extra £50 ?

    Yep, reckon Danny has called it right, so maybe my £250 was a bit on the lean and mean side ?
