Early on I asked the seller about chamber lengths, bore diameters, and wall thicknesses, but have received no answers. Hard to bid on these guns without that information.

I don't see a bid, only an ask of $10,000 to open bidding. There are several things that I'm having trouble with inevaluating these guns for value. But, lets say BV3-OQ1-CC5 = $6,000 per gun as a top end. And, BV3-OQ2-CC6.5 = $2,600 per gun as the low end. Sorry for the wide spread, but something about these guns makes me uncomfortable; I have, personally, learned to trust such gut feelings over the years.
Is the bid for both guns or a single gun?

The birds look to be in the Audubon style.

I don't know if you're BSing or not.
If you're serious, I see what you mean. Interesting observation.
I also emailed a bunch of questions. Still checking my Inbox for a response.

PeteM, ref damascus tubes. Midland Gun Co. catalogue of 1937 listed that option on some models. I suspect that they had a stock of old tubes. For instance, the Demon Hammer gun was £8 10shillings with steel barrels and £11 with damascus. The Perfection hammer gun was £10 10 shillings in steel and £12 10 shillings with damascus. The Long Range Duck & Trap model was in the same price range with 3" chambers. Lagopus.....

I saw a W.C. Scott & Sons high grade engraved hammer gun with the shield in the same location as the guns in question a few months ago. That is what caught my attention. I believe, like with all makes of SxSs, nothing is set in concrete as far as what should be.

But good to know none the less. Pete
