I agree - the plain No2 Royal is not that uncommon. The gun looks to be a good candidate as a practical gun - all new barrels and stock as wellas a nice vintage action.

£15,000 is about par when you consider that Atkin Grant & Lang are charging the same when they re-stock, re-barrel and recondition guns of their own origin for selling now.

However, bear in mind that you can still pick up a very good Holland Royal at auction for well under £10,000 even taking commission into account.
