For a fairly large collection, I'd go to one of the London houses, given the strength of the pound, euro, etc. At a certain level, things like seller's commissions and photography fees become highly negotiable. The London sales attract a broad international clientel, so you could catch Russian petro-millionaires as well as Saudis, to say nothing of the odd Yank or even Brit. These days, Christies seem to specialize in quite high end, but a set of specs sent to them, Gavin Gardiner and Bonhams should elicit interest. The Gordon guns should be quite attractive. You might consider getting Dig Hadoke to act as your agent. I'm sure his fees would be returned many-fold.
