    PS I look out the window and see a couple of big black yatchs readying themselves? PRADA Cup starts this afternoon.

    It's my resolution too to get the collection down to a manageable size although, I may be acquiring a special Webley mk3 hopefully!!

    Trouble is that I have so many 'Collections' that I fear we may be on an episode of The hoarder next door before long!!

    Red face I don't watch the hoarders...I watch the pickers!

    who is kidding who ol' man?

    Whether and what is postable is a difficult question nowadays. Our local PO won't touch anything to do with guns it seems.

    I wish you the kind of will power you've managed to demonstrate in previous years John.

    Good luck.

    I find that when one type of collecting starts to wain, another one takes it's place . still l surpose we have to have something to occupy our time and minds, but it is difficult to let go of things.

    Hi Trev,
    Sorry to hear that you are going to be disposing of much of your amazing collection, but I suppose it is a decision that we will all have to face sooner or later. These days, gun collections, unlike other types of collectables, are likely to be more of a liabilty than an asset if left as a legacy to our loved ones. So it makes sense to convert items to cash while you can, as you will be better placed than anyone to maximise the return. When I decide to beak up my collection, I will settle for keeping one or two favourites items, along with a good quality photo album of all the others, just for reminiscing over.

    Sorry to hear you're finally letting go of the last bits of your collection, Trev, after a lifetime of airgun collecting, but I understand. With any luck you'll stick around here for many years to come.

    I wonder if Mick (walnutfarmermick) is planning to take a container out of New Zealand in 2021? It would be great to have the stuff back here!

    Good luck with whatever you choose to do and Happy Christmas Trev.

    For younger collectors and those that don't know it, Trevor has been the best of us and his cinedux.com web site is a phenomenon, replicated and preserved (hopefully) forever in the vintage airguns gallery.

    Unhappy

    Thats something I must do. I modify specials and just park them up in gun bags, sometimes for years.
