Thanks, Brian. Surprised the Diana sold for so much, though it was a nice example. Gem and Baker could have gone for plenty more on another day, perhaps. Scorpion and fairground target did OK though.

In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.
Ilove the webley mk3 series of which i have quite a number including target models.that £1300 seems a high price considering it has a cracked stock, what do you think was so special about it for that price,or did someone really want one regardless of the price.Roly.
Holts is certainly the place to sell...
The Baker was the best buy in my opinon as it is the only one known, at least 2 people with loads of money wanted the Mk3 , you could have had the Baker and the Webley spring clip for less, l know which l would have had, but each to their own. the Gem didn't sell according to their sales site.
Mick.
£567 for a cut away scorpion!
