Gene, you may not yet have this one on your list. It is in the upcoming Southern Counties Auction in Salisbury.

It was re-barrelled by Elderkins, a respected provincial gunmaker, in about 1970. I would guess that they would have charged about £300 in 1970 (about £6,000 in present day values).

Another gun in the sale , a best London sidelock by H. Atkin, has the paperwork to show it was re-barrelled by the makers in 1978 for £908 (now about £6,700).

Although I am a box-lock enthusiast I suspect that very few would be re-sleeved, let alone re-barrelled these days.
