The laws of supply and demand can be inexorable.
Take the 12 bore Parker-Hale 602, a box lock ejector made for them by Ugartecha with chopper lump barrels and disc set strikers.
In April 1985 they retailed at £270.64, but with inflation had gone up to £349.50 by February 1985. The 2022 equivalent is £996, but I suspect if Ugartecha were still in business they would be priced higher than that today.
There are a couple on GuntraderUK, one at £375 and the other at £120 “to clear”. Both with another lifetime of usefulness no doubt.
One at Southams sale last Saturday went for a hammer price of £12, so £15 with buyers commission.
They would be worth much more on your side of the pond where there is still a demand, but sadly would cost as much to export, ship and import as a Boss or Purdey.
