It should go nicely with my Tell II and III

Mind you, with fees, it doesn't half sting. The same pistol sold 2 years ago for £200 at auction from the David Swan collection.

Bet there's a few of us wish we could go back in time to that auction, Jim. I bought a couple then, but if I could do it again I'd probably get into serious debt.

Hi Danny me too. there was a lot of bargains at that one. and it seems like someone has made a right killing on some of them already.

My thoughts are that there was too much on sale at the David Swan auction. So much that people may have run out of money and so items were going at rock bottom prices and could achieve their true potential.

Any idea what the John Walker converted CO2 LP53 made ?

I think it was £300 or a bit more, David, from memory.

It was £300 Danny. Plus the 30% ish fees on top of course. So about £390 all in.

Apparently David paid almost £1000 for it, quite a few years ago. He was obviously very keen to add one to his collection and there had been very few on the market for some years at the time. So the sting isn't as bad it might have been.

It's all down to how much you want one. Just like that Tell 3 that went for £3000 in one of the recent Holt's auctions. I bet he would have turned in his grave knowing his pistol was sold off for £200. Or maybe that's what he told his wife he paid for it

Yes, in fact I paid a lot less for that LP52 Richard!

Must've been a Bond fanatic...
