He is asking too much. I understand barrel realignment is expensive, yes?

Some could ask the same about your overpriced junk that you peddle. But then again, you sell on reserve so we will never know what it will exactly take to buy something from you.

What are you doing creeping back up here Ed? Go back down below and continue posting with the rest of the children. In an attempt to ruin the board for good from the bottom up.

On the afternoon of the 26th we will know what the market thinks it is worth. When it comes down to it a price is a guess. Guess to high and it won't sell. Guess to low and you leave money on the table. If I was putting it on my table I would guess $6250 and see where it went( If good BWT, no issues and in proof, I may change my guess one way or the other with the gun in hand)

It is a London sidelock ejector, ed. Watsons is still in business, call Michael D. and get a price on a new one.
13 large will look pretty good by comparison.
You know anything about proof, ed? Seller is calling the chambers 2 3/4" but, the worshipful aren't. And, didn't.
If you don't know who the worshipful are, you might be in a bit over your head.

Best,
Ted

Something not right about the proof marks IMO. Its posted as 2&3/4" but only marked as 2&1/2" . OK has two London marks on the action but the marks on the barrel don't add up . It has long been rumoured that there are fake poof stamps in the US and I would want a closer inspection .
There is no proof pressure and even if reproofed between 1950 when decimal bore size superseded previous bore markings and the 1954 rules I would have expected to see a reproof stamp .
