As a Southpaw I was tempted by the 28 bore Grulla sidelock (lot 1553) which seemed to have been built for me, but sanity prevailed and I did not bid for it. In the event the hammer price of £4,300 was almost 3 times top estimate.

I was however tempted to leave a “cheeky” mid-estimate (£150 to £250) on this Paton with its unusual combination of patents.

Hammer fell at £450, so to no avail apart from the thrill of the chase,
