In British slang an anorak is a person who has a very strong interest in niche subjects.

Obviously someone has decided to dispose of a small and nicely inclusive collection of classic vintage pistols. I suspect the estimates are 'come-and-buy me's' and it will be interesting to see what these eventually go for.
One of the 'Pope Bro's Rifle' air pistols is actually a Eureka, with a probable replacement cocking rod knob. The real Pope is interesting, as it is an example of the rarer serial-numbered version.

I'll take the lot at the upper estimate. No questions asked.

Auction estimates are an estimate of the minimum they give to the seller. They're not really estimates. It's to save any fall out with the seller and 'shows' how 'good' the auction house is when hammer prices are generally far higher. They all do the same as a general rule.

One of my old shooting buddies bought a French SBS about 4 years back from them. Turned out the barrel was delaminating and it was independently examined by gunsmiths who said that Stroud Auctions couldn't have legally sold it as it was clearly out of proof as a result. It took him an age of arguing for them to take the gun back & return his money.
