I had a look the two spartans the 22 was a bit plain the 177 was better but there was a couple of dinks and the blueing was a bit thin

Theobens Guy? they had some nice ones there

Just been looking at the results. Looks like some stuff achieved really good prices, but some of the less rare items did go through at quite reasonable prices. I've seen some people selling things privately for higher prices. I imagine whoever the seller of the collection is will be feeling very happy with the overall result, and a lot of collectors have picked up items that will look good in their cabinets.

With a few notable exceptions it was like watching an auction from 25 years ago. The dealers would have had plenty of opportunity to replenish their stocks (no pun intended!).

I guess it depends if it was bought online... I think it was bought at the auction, so a bargain buyers fee of 24%...

Surprized at the Abas Majors prices, more than some dealers ask. lst one at 650 with what looked like replacement grips. and the 2nd one going for 800 hammer prices. l sold one in better condition also with the plum cocking arm at Kempton in Sept for 525 l thought the cromed WR highest possible was a fair-good buy at 650 hammer. l though the early Webley Mk1 with all the engraving done by D.B in what looked like a repro canvass case was a good buy at 400 hammer. l would have thought the engraving would have cost a lot to do.

And a rather tatty break barrel version went for £5000ish.

That's crazy money.

If I had a Whizzer, I would look to sell it now.

There is definitely a bubble where they are concerned.

Agree with Rustybuzz, way over the odds. Did shoot that rifle many years ago. I wouldn't pay that much for it. On the plus side I won my old FWB back. Mach 1.5
