Actually I just did this. Bought a gun for £400 at Holt's. Total cost for hammer price, auction premiums, shipping, insurance, etc. came to $1,294.81. It should have been $75 cheaper since I picked it up at the importer. And I don't believe this gun has a case so that would be £45 cheaper.

The gun I bought was 1857 so the cost for shipping was £260 for the first gun. A post 1898 gun requiring a license would be £350.00. (Since the only dating of Reilly guns comes from my history, the auction house might fudge the date by a couple of years back to 1898.. .close enough for government work.)

Complete costs were posted on the above line. I'm just wondering if a 16 ga hammer gun in this condition with 30" barrels could be bought for this price in the USA. Gene
