Holts September Auction.

It looks to good to be an original gun someone trying to pull a fast one barrels are probably Chinese; I hear JK will stamp any no. you like on them!
Sorry but I do not see the attraction of 6-7ft/lb gun costing £2-3K.

I think they listed it at such a high price since one similar sold in their auction the other month (21st June) for a sugar ton of money! (£3100 I seem to remember)

I would not even pay that for a Don Blocksidge work of art, its still only got pistol power.
Now an AA Prosport with inter changeable barrels exhibition grade stock, improved cocking lever, that would stir my interest!!!!!!

As John says, a 'Factory Undocumented Case' is new one on me as well.
It looks to be a very well adapted 'Brady' case with what appears to be a genuine 'Webley' case label. The only Webley oil cans I know off that have an off centre spout, do not have a valve spout.
The rifle doesn't appear to be anything special and the barrels can't be seen, so their condition is unknown.
The .25 barrel having a different number may slightly affect the price, but a nice three barrelled set will always attract a certain amount of interest, so who knows, but it will be interesting to see the hammer price.

[Binners]

Not sure as to the authenticity of this set. However, this labelled case with three genuine barrels, numbered or not, action and stock would probably break up to over £1,500, so I would not be surprised to see it reach the lower estimate, plus a bit more.

I have a genuine three barrelled Mark II without a case and would be happy to pay at least £300 for the labelled case alone.

By the way, I have nothing to do with this item Lot and have never seen it in the the 'flesh'.

[Josie & John]

As Peter says, this is certainly an attractive set. Remember that genuine Webley cases are as rare as rocking horse droppings and sets like this always attract a lot of interest.

I suspect the hammer will fall suitably high and the purchaser will undoubtedly be pleased with their new addition.

The are are shops about who will compose boxed sets, shotgun cases can often be picked up at auction; and modified, you really need to see it in the flesh if you are going going to spend £3K

As someone who would love a 177 barrel for my Mk2, could someone more knowledgeable than me comment on the reference to the barrels being Chinese. I wouldn't like to make an expensive mistake if I saw a barrel for sale.

Also, I will just comment that I bought a mint canvas and leather Brady shotgun case at a local bootfair recently for £30. Hopefully when refitted inside it will house my Mk2.
