One of the U.K. Dealers I have patronized provides a newsletter to his clients which occasionally contains an apprisal of the market. Below is an excerpt from his fall 2016 newsletter:
"The market in the gun world has become polarised with little interest in hammer guns boxlocks & lesser known sidelocks.
Condition has become paramount & those that are not all original or have defects such as thin barrel walls do not sell except at a very reduced price."
Fairly succinct apprisal of the market in general.
