Is this not a copy from 1960s or was she rebarreled? Very interesting gun.

And it is very unusual to find the markings of US retailer/importer on the barrels. What would be the proper price for this one strikes me as problematic. I thought it exhibited good quality and bid to $2K (with buyer premium) and I was outbid. I don't think "Bentley semi-hammerless" guns are sufficiently well known to have a particular collector following, but I am clearly not the only one who would look at this one and feel inclined to buy it.

Really it is an older Birmingham eccentric platform w/ a newer Belgian tubeset. I just don't see if you sum up the individual components in superposition that it would fetch that kind of value & I am not familiar w/ such a cult following. Then again when British longarms are considered, as long as you have the forend iron or triggerbow guard, you can totally rebuild it & it is >>as New<<. Serbus, Raimey rse
