Toby, apologies and noted. When I threw up a few examples I found your example and just glanced at the web address which bears a remarkable similarity to a home dealer not far from me. The reason I thought the price a 'bit ambitious' is because I was recently offered a rather nice clean example in its original two tier case for 1,200. It now appears that I had seriously underestimated the potential value of these guns as a result. As you know they don't come to light all that often and so there is little to go on as to value. Agreed, shipping etc. can add a lot to the expenses incurred which have to be taken into account. That is probably why you are a successful and respected dealer and me a mere humble collector. I stand admonished. Lagopus.....
