Well the sealed bid results are in.
It's a slightly different game than the standard auction.
Looks like I managed to burden myself with a couple more projects and some useful scrap.
The costs are rather low so no major impact if the items end up having no further functioning life, 46 pounds for the remnants of a WR Pape retailed sidelock under lever 16 bore for example. It'll be interesting to discover if there's anything to be done with it.
