One for the collectors

[Mark D]

I used to own the Daystate Competa Nr 29 - must have sold it 15 years ago.

Anybody know whose collection this is?

[Garvin]

the descriptions indicate the seller knows exactly what he has

Not sure about this Guy, some descriptions were apparently written by know-nothing auction people - a diopter sight is described as both an "eye piece" and and "eye scope"...

Prices could be high at this auction, I missed out on this at £71000.

Whoever this is/was, he and I have the same taste in airguns. Only he has/had much nicer ones than me!

Shame to see this collection split up, wonder if they would sell the complete collection to me in one lot, just dreaming

Some nice rifles but most of them look like they’ve had a hard life.

The prices raised will be an interesting test of the market although one wonders how well this type of event is marketed.

I’m surprised this collection wasn’t auctioned by Holts.
Would have reached a bigger international market.

Some pretty serious rifles up for granbs. Collectors are just castodians for a while. Even some of the less pestigeous rifles would be a delight to own. I'd want to see each example before putting any bid on as the pictures only tell half the story. Nice there are enough rifles worth going to see and even chance a bid on. All part of the hobby.
Sadly I'm skint too, could so easily spend a good few grand on this and that. With so many that anyone would be happy to own it could soon mount up. There are those with deep pockets and I can't see much not making solid prices. A good few collections are going to have the odd hole filled, and the adding of another example. There is something for everyone, and it will be interesting how it all goes. Much will be on the reserves though I suspects they are there to sell.

Yes some very interesting lots. As I do not think I could get there for the auction I just e mailed their appointed shipping agents to see if post/delivery is an option. They said yes but indicated cost could in the region of £135 - £155. Wow.

Cheers, Phil

On top of their 29.94% buyers premium -- nice little earner!

It reminds me of when I naively bought a rifle and then realised the delivery would cost more than the item. Still I had a lovely drive to Devon and back.

I love the description, Probably Venom tuned, it doesn't give you much comeback if it isn't. Buyer beware I suppose

I have bought a lottery ticket and programmed the auction house into my satnav for when I win
