I think I would be sad if 3 sold.

We call them thr tyre kickers friends
All were lovely from memory. Hopefully I'll get to shuffle them again on Sunday.

Made me think, is airgun collecting cyclible? If you look at the classic car market, pre war stuff is becoming less sought after, whilst stuff from the 80's is going through the roof.

It's got a lot to do with nostalgia, look at the prices now being realised by early Venom stuff or late Webley's like the Longbow or Tomahawk.

its entirely possible, that people avoid pre war BSA's as they are the "crack cocaine" of collecting, one is never enough, you buy another, get John M's book and before you know it, you're addicted.
