The subject of buying firearms at auction in Britain and importing them into Australia has yet again come up.

Enquiries of Holt's have garnered no response therefore I seek the collective experience of the forum members.

If I buy a firearm at a British auction what is involved in importing it into Australia ??

Do either of these Auction houses provide this service ???

What are British Police requirements??, British Customs requirements ??? shipping company (airlines), Australian Customs requirements, Australian Police (Queensland) requirements.

Are there British or Australian agents that provide such a service ??

Is there lurking among us a connection with Holts or Bonhams that will respond to enquiries regarding condition of guns and whether this service is provided by them ???
