Researcher will be pleased to hear that the British Gun Auction series will be going to a bi-annual format instead of a quarterly one.

The idea is that the London auctions shine a light on some interesting guns that are often inaccessible to many readers and they open a window on what things are selling, who is there and what they are doing.

Maybe the format has run its course. The next one is due in spring 2009 so those bored with it will have something else to read in the winter issue.
