for sale in Holts... £1300.
Doesn't seem too bad considering the rarity.. I've never seen one in the flesh - just the AGW article in the 80s

Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
Very reasonable. I wish I'd paid that for mine.

I saw a part one when i had my Skan mk7 recalibrated by Mike....another shouda moment!!!
Lovely bit of kit and very different
Hmmmm ... Holts is an auction house, so are you sure that the £1,300 you quote isn't the catalogue valuation? Rarely do Holts advertise a BIN (Buy It Now) price, so my money is on that figure maybe being the catalogue valuation, as these are often set deliberately low, so as to suck in potential bidders?
I did a retrospective field test and article on the Double Express for AGW back in (iirc) 2010 so know how well made and rare these air rifles are, so would be staggered if that is all it achieves, and as I also wrote an in-depth article on Holts collectable air rifle auctions circa 2012 (or there abouts) for AGW, I know how the clever fellows at auction houses set their hooks.

Wow. Said initiative must've been introduced since my article then? Cheers for the up-date, Danny, coz as I may've said once or twice before, "every day is a school day" yes? ...
That ploy does make marketing sence however, and I assume is only actioned at the sellers request, and if they don't want to re submit their item for a further auction? Atb: G.

Well, the sale was on Thursday, and ST posted yesterday, suggesting that £1,300 was the hammer price.
They also apparently sold a refinished unoriginal 3-barrel Webley Service set for (gulp) £3,100. 😳
This was indeed a BIN (inc all fees) price in the unsold auction lots sale... (I had registered / viewed, hence getting the email - came out very quickly after the auction itself ended)

Was this the same rifle that was put up about 2 years ago at around £2000 starting price and didn't sell. or is my memory playing up again.
A good buy for someone at £1300 all in.
