Hi again...

Ahhh,thanks for that info nitro, i had wondered......

Bargains can indeed be had,but you are right to be suspicious,if its a dealer selling the guns.(dealers never let something go for NOTHING, though sometimes one can get a fair price from them also)

The thing i noticed is that many of those that bought the guns first,were indeed English/UK based, and very typically nobles of one sort or another,or the well to do in general.

Well,having come from the countryside(Cornwall) i can say that all these old families managed to keep the guns pretty well, and from time to time they are sold off. Many were licensed and kept,others fall under the handy 'antique and curio' category.

Thanks for the wish of luck! Called,chap is at the Midland Game Fair.(on today) Am calling again monday. I bet its BP,and if its not i shall be taking steps to purchase it. If merely a BP then i feel its hardly worth that price...

Then even if it needs some work,surely it is worth it? a Brit .500 NE isnt an every day weapon one may find anyway......and always when one does they seem to be horrendously expensive....

The Great Gatsby....yes i reflect your concerns, but Daryl has had no problems so far,and has proven tests under his wing.

What concerned me too was; barrel thickness,gun weight, action strength,steel strength,stock strength.......much more pressure and such firing balls etc from the gun,no???

Daryl, your expertise is needed here.......

Ben
