    There’s a FWB Sport 124 listed in that auction. It’s described as being engraved by Don - but it most certainly isn’t (have a look at the cuts - my dog could chew neater).
    Don told me about someone who used to knock out work using a Dremel and pass it off as his stuff, this looks to be one of those.
    Just didn’t want anyone bidding silly money on it only to be extremely disappointed.

    Used to be mine once Craig and certainly not done by the late Don,, May have been by Dons dog. Personally i think Stevie Wonder did it in the dark after a p*ss up.
    Not on any terms can you take Holts description on anything they advertise as what it is.. And no complaining afterwards when you receive a load of rubbish.
    You have to go to the viewings to see what your going to bid on.. I have managed to return some stuff not as described in the past.

    Funnily enough, the FWB sport was one I liked the look of but would have needed to peanuts to be worth while.
    Clearly not work by DB, but it was the description stating it needed work that put me off. If they are saying it needed work it must have been mechanically poop too.

    Nice one, Colin. Do you know if the FWB sold - and for what price?
    Cheers, Craig

    There are a few interesting items on display, I to noticed the scorpion variants.
    The shadow carbine if correct is a rare thing.

    Holts do RFD TRANSFER.

    expect to pay 30% on your bid price in commission and tax, an additional £30 (iirc) for free transfer.

    Minimum of £35 shipping fee which can be up to 3 items, then £5 for each extra item up to a max wight of 30kg plus whatever your RFD charges to receive and process the items for you.
