It was sold a few years later to one of our members the late Pete Basham, Pete pestered Terry for months & eventually managed to buy it.
Pete passed away last year & his collection went to Holts for disposal. Quite a few of his air rifles & pistols were in the last auction & this one.
I recognised a few. It was a sizeable collection & it doesnt take many that big to come onto the market to perhaps push the prices down a bit!
