Boss 20g bore/shot gun
      #170525 - 29/10/10 10:14 AM

Hi Guys

Got a flyer from Holt's auction house this morning. For your interest

For Daryl - a round ball gun par excellance



30 yards regulation - for a boar!



Not sure whether this should be here or in the shotgun section, but I am sure it will be appreciated

If I get to the auction I will take some pics for you, or they will post a catalogue on line

Wow - 50 to 60 thousand dollars. Ouch! Nice, though. That triple barrel 16 would be fun too - same price estimated.

The online catalogue is on Holt's website, no pics for the Boss ball/shot gun but these with JabaliHunter's Paradox make me wish I was rich!
