Sorry to hear that Jon.

Nothing to be sorry about mate - I want to pi55 off over to Zambia trust me, if you saw the lifestyles over there, and my house, and our small farm, and our bigger farm, and the fishing lake we're digging, and the house we're building.... well, you get the idea... there's not much time to shoot !

Interesting on the other info, but that's a pretty huge range - somewhere between £250 from a broken one and £750 for nice At least mine is working...

Sorry to hear you may be moving, JB. I completely get the rationale. Mrs G and I are also seriously thinking of ditching the small flat in London (totally unexpected baby on the way 😀!) and relocating to my not really but sort of other ancestral homeland out in the West Country.

Which has also led me to start thinking about a Binners Fair table to off load stuff. Not the really nice stuff, but all the other stuff that had accumulated. Better then just dumping it all with Nick Holt and watching him fund a new BMW with it?

Can’t help you on valuation beyond my gut instinct that any post-war trainer type is (sadly) worth less on the general market than one that might have been used by Hitler and his associated Utter Scumbags. Maybe £400, given rarity (but noting condition and missing bits)?

Hi Geezer, a baby heh, that's a shock to the system

I'm thinking around the £400 mark too...

Not quite what you expect when you are 52! Still, it’s brilliant. Just as the 17 year old son is planning uni, a baby girl is on the imminent horizon. I love being a parent, and am overjoyed to be having a second go at it. Maybe I can get her interested in shooting, unlike the son.

But I do need to work out how much of the guns and gun bits and the pointy sharp things and books about war (etc etc) might best be flogged off, and how much might be kept. My earlier-planned early retirement is definitely on hold!
