Well spotted Danny!Originally Posted by Garvin
I wonder if it's a coincidence that a seller on Gunstar had two less than vgc Tell 3 pistols for sale for, IIRC, £1500 each just a few months ago and neither seemed to sell.
His location? Gloucester.
Desirable though the Tell 3 might be, in those sorts of calibre they would be virtually unusable. So if someone is going to take the trouble to make replacement barrels, perhaps to reclaim relics, why go for calibres that would devalue them so much? It certainly is a puzzle. It might help to know the serial numbers, as if these are consecutive or very close together it could suggest factory experimental models.
Cheers,
John
