Brent, Those guns are priced pretty high. I’ve seen a few dominions in the $7k price range and Royals in the $20k range—still not inexpensive. Graham MacKinley had a 2” Dickson RA a few years ago that weighed 5lbs 15oz (not much lighter than some 2.5” RA). Also, WR made some 2” guns. Ken

The man who got me my 2" had a lovely WR 2".
Also, 28"bbls. command a premium though I like my 26" in heavy cover.

Years ago we had a member in the club at which I shoot who was a former NBA guard (not a name anyone would recognize - sort of an end of the bench player) who was about 6' 6" and shot a British side by side of a make I no longer remember with 28 inch barrels and a very long (like 16") length of pull. I cannot imagine where he could have found it, but the gun and especially the shells drew a crowd every time he used the gun. Even with the very long stock, it was well under six pounds. I was fascinated by the gun and thought seriously about trying to find one (of more normal dimensions), but never pursued it. I ended up with a 6 pound 3 ounce Ferlib 12 gauge with 70cm barrels instead that works quite well for my "carry all day, shoot once or twice" gun, particularly with 7/8 or 1 ounce loads at about 1150 fps.
That being said, if someone were to offer to give me one today, I wouldn't turn it down.

Poulin Auctions Spring 2022 auction had 20 some 2 inch guns. Most with cases from England and Scotland. The average sold price was around $2065. Two John McPherson & Sons had 28" barrels and a bunch had 27".

Whoa! That's a bit of sensory overload. I love them all. I especially love that Curry. Definitely I am late to that party... I thought Poulin's was a lower tier auction house. I was just wrong about that.

Were the "realized" prices inclusive of the buyer's 17.5% bump? Gil

Since some of the prices included cents I would assume so.

I called, it includes the buyer’s premium but not the 5% sales tax. I also think with ~20 2” guns for sale at the same time, the prices were a little depressed vs. selling 2or 3 2” guns at a time. There were some nice 2” guns sold on that day.
