I was interested in the fate of a pair of Lancasters. Damascus hammerless, very good condition, barrels cut from 30" to 28", so minimal choke left. I thought the 2500-3500 estimate was low. They ended up going for something over $8,000 when you include the hammer fee. The provenance reports that they sold for about 3,000 pounds, including hammer fee, 20 years ago. So a little inflation there, but not much. I thought about bidding, figuring I might snatch them for $5K or so. But I also thought my chances weren't very good.
