    Lovely condition, very tempted to bid, will probably go a lot higher. Looks like the trigger mechanism borrowed by the first Webley MK3 version.

    (I promise this question is not to bid on this gun )

    How did you go about registering on egun? I set up an account and then got a message telling me to send them a picture of my ID card. Which we don’t have in the UK...

    Mind you I suppose after December it will be pointless as everything will have to go through customs and be more expensive, plus you’ll need a seller who’ll ship outside the EU.
    Morally flawed

    It's impossible, don't bother.

    I suspect that the rifle has been refinished, looks a bit too shinny?

    Hard to say. I agree, it does look shiny but it may just be the lighting. The edges look nice and sharp, so if refinished it's been done well.

    The metal sure looks original including the shift in color from receiver to barrel just as on my 58. Considering that, I think the wood also is original and this is just a really well-kept example.

    How high it could get??
    If the seller is willing to send inside the E.U. the amount of bidders increases a lot and prices end up high.
    Recently a Diana 48 was sold ... https://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=9665577
    Nice old German airguns tend to go higher and higher lately, a lot of east europian buyers have discovered the site.

    I use egun quite a bit. If you need to register use passport instead of ID card

    Why do I love curl so much! I think in the US it goes back to those curly stocked Kentucky flintlock rifles we see here. I think this guy is using some good marketing in that on this one side he only shows what is curly, got to assume the butt is probably plain? If that is the case it would not show as well as you would think? I know picky picky lol
