Well done Brian
I have had a few, once at an auction house on the south coast with Lawrie. There were a lot of US CO2 pistols for sale. We agreed between us over a coffee who would bid on what. During the auction we were the only ones bidding on the CO2 pistols and we took home about 8 between us
My best though was buying a piece of furniture at a boot fair, it was a dressing table when people actually had them. A price was agreed and when my wife and I went to collect it and load it into the car we could hear something bumping about in it. When we got home and had lugged it up to the bedroom I pulled all the drawers out looking for what was making the noise.After I had removed the middle long draw I noticed a sliding catch, when I opened the 'secret' draw out came a Webley Mk11 Target in very good condition This was about 30 years ago, sadly the Webley has long gone and so thankfully has the dressing table.
It's all in the chase
