This was well under the estimated 2-3k and substantially lower than examples sold earlier in the year at 3.3k and 2.9k plus fees.

Could it be due to the custom stock making it 'non standard' for a collector? A standard gun identical to it sold for 3.3k plus fees.



Probably because it was the slightly less desirable 'break-barrel' version? May have made even less without the lovely Welham stock?? Perhaps the interesting serial number may have helped the price a bit also? ie 0007
