    So what are these worth now do we think?

    Mine has a replacement rear sight but is in nice condition and shoots well.
    After a fair bit of work.
    Mine is also brown Glyn.

    Not thinking of selling

    Prices tend to vary quite a bit for these classics. Anything from the £300 mark to £800. JC MIlitaria has had a few on his website for some time with incorrect sights and if you look at his pricing, that should explain why! A search on Holts' archives will also provide a guide that may confuse you even further due to their volatile nature!

    I looked at a refinished example on Tim Dyson's stall at Brum - it was interesting in that someone had nickel plated the air cylinder and blued the barrel in 'Gem' style. I believe a few 'specials' were finished in this way a century ago and I wish I had taken some snaps of it.

    Kind regards,

    John

    Thank you Lakey, Trevor and Mick.

    Lakey, can you tell me if the Ramsbottom markings are on the top of the breech flat on 1340 or on either side of the breech flats? I'm guessing standard 21 inch barrel?

    Trevor, thank you for including 1581. Is the rifle marked Britannia or Anglo Sure Shot? Also, I'm guessing it has the see-saw sight but could you confirm?

    Mick, I'm not sure if I have your old ones listed but if you can confirm SN, sight type, calibre, markings and barrel length, I'll gladly add to the database.

    Thanks all.

    John
