This is his reply,the ref to a 30-06 is for 1250 QUID. This is no more "Churchill" than the comedy dog that advertises insurance IF it dates from the 1970s as, by that time, Churchill was being used by Interarms aka Sam Cummings who also had earlier Cogswell and Harrison in the late 1950s. Sorry to disappoint but it is, no more nor less, than a bog standard Mauser action with the name "Churchill" on the barrel. That it appears to have stock American Williams front and rear sights gives the lie to it. What is it worth? It is worth what any other good, Mauser based, 404 in the same condition by say, Parker-Hale would be worth. It would be a fool that would seek to give it any sort of premium for the letters that happen to say "Churchill" on the barrel. A Holland and Holland, a Rigby or a Westley Richards IT IS NOT! The firm E J Churchill made excellent shot guns such as even in the 1970s the Regal and others. They were not and never were, to my recollection, makers of bespoke stalking rifles in their own right. It is a "badge engineered" product on behalf of Interarms just as the later Interarms Whitworth Rifle Company rifles were. No it is not worth that sort of money nor is the 30-06 on Guntrader not for the supposed name! |
