A fine and very usable piece of history! Surely a low estimate of value.

The gun has been for sale for quite awhile. Last price I saw it listed at was £24,000. Interesting it is up for auction with the £7-9k estimate.

I guess its value has greatly diminished due to the impending loss of lead shot here in UK ,as well as the thinning of the ranks of those who read its owners books and articles .....all of which are rapidly becoming things of the past.

Carl Russell has had this listed on his for awhile. Very nice Atkin. I love an Atkin and this is one I would love to own.
I went to Holt's site and did not see this Atkin listed.

A bargain for someone if it goes within that price estimate. He wrote extensively about this gun in Shooting Times magazine and had it made, in his opinion, as the ideal Game Gun. If I had the spare cash at the moment I would consider leaving a bid. Sadly , new vehicle may take precedence. Lagopus…..

27” barrels don’t help it’s value. Funny thing is that 30 years ago short barrels were the rage and long barrels were very hard to move. Just think what this gun would cost to have made today. 50,000 pounds? Twice that? And here it might bring just a few thousand. I think there are going to be a lot of bargains over the next few years for those with cash and a place to shoot lead shot.
