I am very interested in learning what Holt's Lot number 1801 hammer price brings. This lot is a Boss 1887 patent EJECTOR sidelever hammer gun with 31 inch damascus barrels. Holt's estimate of the price range is UKPounds 15,000-20,000. Hammer ejector guns by the London best makers of this period (and any period) are very rare and this one is one of the rarest of the rare and will be an indicator of if there remains collectors in the world who appreciate such workmanship and art.
Also Lot 1250--a trio of Purdey (Sinclair engraved) two 20 bore shotguns (O/U and SLE) and one double rifle, all in new condition and maybe unfired, estimated to bring UKPounds 150,000-180,000. For the person who can afford these and if indeed if they sell for that price, they are a bargain even with the premium to be added. Another indicator of what the market is now.
