Good grief. I hope if they try to straighten that lever they don’t end up snapping it…

I expect whoever bought it is confident of restoring it to working condition. They are exceptionally rare and being British and Anson, the hammer price isn't surprising. Sadly I missed out on the long barrel Certus as a) I was on a conference call just as the item came up and b) my bids were not accepted - probably hammer had dropped and saleroom was not updated quickly enough.
