    Heads Up!

    Heads Up! Sale of Collection
    I have been a collector, on and off, for many years now; but advancing years and increasingly poor health mean I am no longer able to continue my searches for the odd, the unusual and the (very occasionally) perfect specimen. I have arranged for my collection to be sold by Wallis and Wallis, and they tell me that the first part of my hoard will be appearing in their sale of 4 April, and that there will be a good variety of airguns of all kinds to be seen.
    Good luck

    John

    Good luck John, not far so I might check it out live. May I ask how you found W and W to deal with as I have considered them for disposal, also what they charge, ignore if you don’t want to divulge.

    It will be interesting to see what is on offer.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    A very impressive collection thats now on the Wallis and Wallis website. Many interesting items and highlights include ultra rare Webley Mk1 first series spring clip. Bidding will no doubt get interesting....

    Has the Tell 3 got an unusual grip? It looks more rounded on the bottom than mine. Were there variants?

    I have no connection with the sale..
