DH,
Thanks for your response. I agree that some of the better Brit names did very well, but strange that "name" cases often made as much as some good guns. Some weird prices. Compare Lot 1400, a H&H Royal for £5,200. with Lot 1011, another H&H Royal(sleeved), which sold for £11,000! Sad to see the Purdey case (Lot 102) separated from its occupant (lot 1407). Hope that is not something that happens too frequently and hope they were reunited, the £800 case price indicates that they might have been.
