I didn’t remember it rightly but find Holt’s sold it for a hammer price of £15,000 against a top estimate of £5,000 ( so £20,000 paid by the purchaser). I still suspect that it is a world record for a sleeved gun. Last edited by Parabola; 07/31/23 05:02 PM. Reason: Misremembered

It was worth a hammer price of £15,000 on the day because there were at least 2 bidders willing to go to £14.5 K but only one who went to £15K. At 3 times top estimate the bidders were probably attracted by the provenance and the whiff of scandal attached to a delightful if not very practical gun to shoot doves or driven partridge, and a rare if not totally original gun for the specialist Purdey collector. It does not seem the sleeved barrels harmed the price, but if you paid Purdey to fit a set of new barrels (£30K ?) intrinsically it would be worth more but put back into auction you would be unlikely to recover any part of the cost of those new barrels.
