Gene, thank you very much indeed for your kind notification and for thinking of us.
I already have many Holts auction catalogues from the heydays of the 2000s, as well as several from other houses. I would be happy to take on additional copies. However, not surprisingly storage rapidly becomes an issue!
The other factor is that these catalogues do far better service to those with an interest in fine guns if they are readily and freely available. For example, I have spent many happy hours perusing old copies of Arms & Explosives, The Field, Shooting Times, The Sporting Goods Review etc at the British Library. I wonder if the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds would be interested in taking them in and perhaps subsequently arranging for them to be scanned and thence available to anyone via the internet?
What do you think, lagopus?
Tim
