Huvius - The Alexander Henry is about right for the UK (most good ones will fetch over Ł4000) until we have to remember the 30% commission/tax that go on top of it

I certainly agree that the WR is way too high

The Snider/Newarks Patent would interest me at the lower estimate as I particularly like Sniders but the aforesaid 30% would put it too high

I will be on my way to the Pacific when the auction happens but will try to watch it on the internet, there are a couple of other items that interest me and on line bidding can lead one astray..........................

Bought a Cape Rifle today, will post soon

Best
