Having imported Darne guns for two decades, I can assure you this is, at most, low level “not knowing of that which you speak”, with little to no fraud or malice intended.
There is a Darne on GunsInternational and Gunbroker at the moment that is advertised as higher grade than it is, and, the seller has had that rubbed in his face, by me, as well. His response? Removing the photo of the flats that would document that from his ad.
That right there, is malice, I don’t care who you are.
The thing that struck me about the video, is just how over the whole sport shooting thing really is in the UK. All those doubles, selling for pence instead of pounds, had an owner, and now, they don’t. Some of them won’t sell, and will end up in a scrap metal bin.
We aren’t there yet. But, it is still concerning.
Best,
Ted
