476nitro,

By all means send me a PM with your email and I will send you my email address
in case you want to ask me something.

Suggestion for you.

Get into a circle of people (Ray Atkinson is one I can think of - Ray - I hope you don't mind
me saying this) who are:-
1. Knowledgeable on English and / or the other guns (Searcy, Heym, Merkel, Krieghoff, Chapuis etc etc)
2. Have EXPERIENCE shooting them in the field
3. Are generally NOT gun dealers by profession

I get numerous phone calls asking me my opinion on double rifles, do I have anything for sale
(which is generally no as I don't often sell guns), can I check this gun out for someone,
can I shoot this for someone etc etc. I happily share my knowledge and Ray and others
I know on this and the AR forum will readily do the same.

JUST BE CAREFUL WHO YOU LISTEN TO - Their are a lot of people on forums
who think they know and don't know but even worse, they don't know their limitations
of both knowledge and experience.

In regards to mickey's comment about and in reference to my previous post - if you buy a "down in condition"
gun and spend the time, effort and money doing it up, (and believe me, it takes alot of all 3), then you expect
A RETURN ON INVESTMENT. JUST MAKE SURE IF YOU BUY A "DOWN IN CONDITION" GUN
that what you pay for it and what you sink into it (money for work required) is NOT more than
what the whole gun is worth in the first place.

FYI and to show non bias and that I am not an Anglophile,
apart from English doubles, I own 2 Merkel BLNE Double Rifles ,1 x Saraquita SLE (Spanish ?).

NONE of the above will significantly increase in value in time (if at all)
- I bought them solely as THRASH guns to take where it is wet, they could get stolen etc etc.

Anyway, I hope this helps. Comments are NOT meant as criticisms, just trying to pass on
my limited knowledge and point you in the right direction.
