Anyone bidding today? I had no "wins" today, but I was interested and bid on the Woodward hammer 12 and the Boss single 12. The Woodward was a real peach, late manufacture (1895), but it reached 3400 sterling and I was priced out. The same happened for the Boss single. It reached 1000 sterling and exceeded my desire to pay. But the star of the show was the 20 bore Boss O/U that sold for 95K sterling + comm. That was an outstanding result against an estimate of 50K-80K.

I saved thousands today. Got shutout. I was first runner up on several guns it seems like everything I wanted went for 150+% of high estimate which to me means those on the scene did see real value. Having to import has made it much more expensive to me. I don’t even know if I’ll bother with the sealed bid auction coming up. In my experience there are a lot of cripples and money pits in sealed bids. A few gems but not as many as I once thought. Whom am I kidding, I’ll bid.
