I did also notice a fixer up Relum Repetier going for a very low estimate. JS Auctioneers in Oxfordshire selling that one on Wednesday. Some nice pieces on there at the minute.
A new batch added to the Saleroom site today, with some nice pistols, Pardini P10, B96, Morini which might interest some on here. the auctioneers is Dukes. The bit I’m interested in is that these pistols listing says they are from, Provenance: The Donald Davis Air Gun Collection, does anyone know anything about this person, collection? general search doesn’t come up with a hit.

There are several very interesting pistols now listed for auction here including a Cogswell & Harrison Certus and this extremely rare Anson’s Star. Although it has issues including an incorrect pellet seater, these are ultra rare and very desirable even in poor condition. Once again the estimate is ridiculously low to lure potential buyers to come along and bid.

I hate the low “estimate” calculated to draw one in. Bonhams apparently expect you to believe that you can buy, from them, a Manx Norton frame with a V5.
Must be in their Fantasy Island saleroom.

When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns .
The Certus and Anson certainly come up for auction only very, very rarely, but the same auction house is also offering one pistol that I have never seen at auction for more than 40 years or more. It is one that Robert Beeman was very keen to get but never managed to nail:
And another very very rare pistol is the Haenel model 50, l have only ever seen one other for sale, in all my years of collecting.
Could you please us what air gun Robert Beeman tried to buy and failed to nail for 40 years.
I do not know the air pistol pictured. I will try to look it up in my favorite book - "The Encycloedia of Spring Air Pistol 13th ed. "
Thank you,

Can someone explain to me why this thread has clocked up almost 3000 views in two days? Must be a record for this forum, or a glitch in the system!
I think he is/was an American collector?
