That Churchill selling at £1,300, even below modern replacement cost, really shows how buyer demand and market timing matter more than original value. A few things stand out to me: overseas auctions (like Holt’s) can still offer strong value, even after import costs, and condition/details matter a lot more than the name on the gun.

Whether that gun checks some particular, relatively irrelevant, box may or maynot be. There are many wonderful deals and options out there, and the fact is the birds don't care what you're carrying!

That's something that should have been caught and mentioned in the description I have become addicted to English hammered shotguns to the detriment of my wallet.
