    Didn't do one of my glossy super jobs as I haven't got time, but I could have it in a shiny silver (white) version tout suite.

    There you go Baz, looks like you may already have a buyer.

    G96 is kryptonite for hot bluing sadly, the copper is very hard to get rid of and causes all sorts of problems with the bath makeup,

    Let’s have a chat at Kempton though if it doesn’t sell, at £450/£475 I don’t think it will hang around though.
    A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

    Been reading the "Living" Bible version today, and Proverbs chapter 20 verse 14 made me think of Kempton yesterday when I sold the Webley. Peter said value is around £650 and I sold it for £380.

    Pete you missed my point, was not unhappy with the sale, the guy who owned it still made a big profit, was thinking how true the proverb is. Quoting it " the buyer says it isn't worth much, look at all the faults. Then goes away and boasts "look at this great bargain I got !"

    No Baz, I didn't miss the point, even though my proverb knowledge is a little below par today Was having a little laugh, did you miss the little symbol in my post?

    Peter, I am known for being a bit slow by certain friends. Was surprised that guys who were really interested in the rifle wanted to knock it down from the 450 I asked. If I want something, especially if it is a fair price I go for it. £50 is soon long forgotten when overtaken by the pleasure of ownership. Liked your illustration of Hitlers pyjamas.
